Aequorin Chardonnay 2021 Antica Terra

Professional reviews

Vinous (96)

A lovely touch of wood spice introduces the 2021 Chardonnay Aequorin as fresh hazelnut, spring flowers, lime and white peach form its enticing bouquet. This mixes savory and sweet, demonstrating amazing balance and poise as ripe orchard fruits and hints of confectionary spice are contrasted by the onset of salty minerals and ginger tones. It finishes incredibly long and full of tension, leaving a crunchy sensation and nuances of vanilla spice along with a tug of silky tannins. Simply stunning.

A pale silver/yellow hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Aequorin is beautifully detailed in the glass with citrus oil, lime oil, delicate flint, pure poached pear, and fresh almondine. Offering a supple, silky texture, it’s long and has a weightless, coating feel as well as underlying electricity and fantastic length. It doesn't get much better than this.

James Suckling (95)

This full-bodied and lavishly oak-aged wine achieves admirable richness, being barrel fermented and going through the malolactic fermentation that enhances buttery aromas and a nicely viscous mouthfeel. Aromas of lavender and poached pears give way to baked apples, butter and cream on the palate, where a vein of crisp acidity keeps it well-balanced. Drink now or hold.
