Luca Description

Winemaker Notes

Beautiful pale-gold color with enticing aromas of lemon crème, baking spices and some notes of dulce de leche. The aromas carry through to the palate, and are joined by hints of tropical fruit, spiced baked pear, and a stony/mineral flavor that creates a stylish wine that seems part New and part Old World. This wine will age well for years in a cellar.

Pairs well with most fish, lobster, crab, chicken, and even many pork preparations. Particularly recommended with dishes using sautéed wild mushrooms or butter sauces.

Professional Ratings

94 James Suckling
Roasted peaches, apricots, lemon pie, caramel and toast on the nose. Full-bodied with an intense, buttery palate. Impressive concentration. Sustainable. Drink now or hold.
92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 G Lot Chardonnay is an elegant and harmonious Chardonnay produced with grapes from a plot in the Adrianna Vineyard from Gualtallary at 1,400 meters above sea level. It fermented in 500-liter oak barrels, where it matured for one year. It has a restrained and classical nose of barrel-fermented Chardonnay, faintly spicy and smoky with purity of fruit, very clean and precise. The wine is sharp and austere, fresh and with chalky minerality.

91 Wine Spectator
Opens with green apple and toasted almond notes that join the rich palate of pear and Meyer lemon, adding vibrant spice and mineral acidity that linger nicely.
90 Wine Enthusiast
This oaked Chardonnay has aromas of white grapefruit, lime and mango. A touch of vanilla adds complexity to the bouquet. It has a creamy texture, without feeling heavy thanks to good acidity. Tropical and citrus fruit flavors blend with chamomile and hints of toasted oak that carries through the lingering finish.
