Cantina Terlano Kreuth Chardonnay 2021

“The 2021 Chardonnay Kreuth is floral yet understated in the glass, as swirling unlocks hints of crushed yellow apple and chamomile. This is silky-smooth, nearly oily in feel, with a citrus tinge to its ripe orchard fruits. A green melon note adds further contrast toward the close. It finishes zesty and crisp, leaving lime zest and spice behind. Drinking window: 2023-2026. 89 points

Terlano’s 2020s need a lot of time in the cellar. However, they do promise to pay dividends to wine lovers who can be patient. That said, the whites certainly outperform the reds in this turbulent vintage. The 2020 Primo and Riserva Vorberg are both simply stunning.”
