Charles Smith’s inaugural vintage of Sixto, the long anticipated Chardonnay-only label that doesn’t disappoint. This serious white is bursting with complex expressions and unerring accuracy that pays homage to the varietal and would surely rival any Burgundian counterpart.
Nose: Bright aromas of lemon citrus, apple, beeswax, baked brioche and fresh minerality.
Taste: Masterfully focused and tightly layered with supple texture. Lemon-infused apple, pear, lychee, green fig and hints of butterscotch that glide with precision though the finish.
Editor’s Choice – Outstanding
Alcohol: 14.5%
