This wine comes from a single three-acre Chardonnay vineyard introduced to Tor Kenward by Larry Hyde in 2008. It belonged to one of Larry Hyde’s oldest friends in the Napa Valley, Steve Beresini, and was planted three decades ago with cuttings Larry gave Steve. This is now referred to as “Hyde Selection Wente Clone.” Today it produces a minuscule crop, usually between one and two tons per acre, with clusters half the normal size. Primary coopers are Saury and three-year dry aged Francois Frères. The 2017 Chardonnay Beresini Vineyard Cuvee Torchiana opens with lifted lemon, lime and mandarin scents with fresh pears and ginger plus croissant notions. The palate is big, rich, full-bodied, decadent, lively and hedonistic, with spicy and savory layers and a very, very long finish. 314 cases produced.Inc. GSTSG$1,478.77 -

At the heart of Napa Valley, renowned for its exquisite wine production, lies the creator of the Vineyard 7 & 8 Estate Chardonnay 2019, a fine testament to age-old tradition and modern ingenuity. This elegant varietal hails from the distinguished Spring Mountain District, where vines are meticulously nurtured in volcanic and sedimentary soil, fostering a remarkable complexity in their grapes.
The wine-making procedure is admirable in its precision; vine selection, hand-harvested at dawn, strictly barrel-fermented in French oak, and carefully aged sur-lees for twelve months. The result? An intoxicating symphony of vibrant fruit flavours, underscored by refined mineral undertones and a luxuriant creaminess.
Bright and intriguing on the palate, Vineyard 7 & 8 Estate Chardonnay 2019 displays sophisticated layers of lemon peel, green apple, and a subtle hint of toasty oak, culminating in a flawlessly balanced finish. Unarguably, a delightful addition to the seasoned oenophile's collection.

The 2021 Chardonnay Fósil from San Pablo, Uco Valley was 30% aged in 500-liter barrels, the rest in concrete. Yellow in the glass.

The conditions that year really helped to dial up the quality, surpassing previous vintages. A complex, refined expression, tight like the best bands and continuing the austere spirit with which Fósil made its name.Inc. GSTSG$523.72
