Just a lovely, layered and creamy Chardonnay with so much energy and verve it should be stopped for speeding. Medium-bodied and boasting a complex fruit profile of lemons and lemon blossoms, lime essence, and a dollop of apricot cream, scented with white springtime flowers, all framed by laser-like acidity with stony mineral underpinnings. Utterly delicious. Winemaker Nico Cueva employs the same process for the three fancifully named Haynes Vineyard Chardonnays (Vigneron, Forgeron, and Corazon). They are whole bunch pressed with sur lie ageing in 500-2000-litre neutral casks for 22 months of elevage. Native yeast ferments. Unfined unfiltered. Cueva explains the fanciful names as such: ‘Vigneron is what we grow. Forgeron is what we build (out of a barrel selection), and Corazon is what we love’.
