Tapanappa Tiers Vineyard Chardonnay 2025
DOZEN: $1,242.00 or $103.50 each
Quite the potency to this chardonnay, so too a distinct saline minerality. Scents and flavours of toffee apple, lemongrass, preserved lemon and green apple juice with dashes of sugared almond and flinty, stony notes. Lots going on here and, while concentrated and somewhat power-packed, this has a levity and finesse that helps the wine glide along confidently. Serious white wine territory. (95) MIKE BENNIE, Halliday Wine Companion
I’m reviewing this a little later in the day, so there will be Tiers before bedtime. I’ll fetch my coat.
Nectarine, grapefruit, nougat, a little spice and cedar. It’s lively, a grapefruit tang to acidity and flavour, there’s something of an umami character here too – like wakame – a grainy grip to texture with nutty finish of fine length. It’s a bright and zippy expression of this wine. Less gloss and glide than is usual, acidity courses through it, but it’s good all the same. (94) GARY WALSH, The Wine Front
