[SOLD-OUT] Xanadu Reserve Chardonnay 2019

98 POINTS RAY JORDAN!

"The basis of this memorable chardonnay is the best batches of fruit from the original Lagan Estate vineyard. Power and poise captured expertly with clever winemaking. The cooler vintage has certainly influenced the structure and intensity, with a more subtle understated expression. Yet as the wine begins it’s journey along the palate it starts to release its payload. Impeccably balanced with cashew, butterscotch brittle and roasted cashew flavours faintly evident. Complex with a minerally lingering finish." - Ray Jordan

"Such a lean, long style of chardonnay. Its variety and its region will no doubt shine through, given time, but for now it’s all lemon, steel, pineapple and grapefruit with merely a brush of oak seasoning. There’s texture here, there’s elegance, there’s balance." - Campbell Mattinson

"The reserve wines represent the best possible expression of the vintage with the fruit for this wine coming from the revered Lagan Estate Vineyard, named after the founder of Xanadu, Dr John Lagan. Beautifully poised aromatics show citrus and high tones fruits, minerals and wet stone. The palate has rainwater fresh acidity and is intensely citrus driven – pure, taut and linear. There is a floral/sea spray character and excellent concentration. Oak has been managed by a deft hand and gently supports. All in all an admiral expression of chardonnay that most definitely speaks of place, skilled winemaking and most importantly excellent fruit." - Wine Pilot
