Unicorn siting in Candler, NC. Don’t diss me if you get this freely in your market. #ganevat is a luxury and delicacy in these parts. Pretty stuff with just the slightest Jerez-edge.

2012, Chardonnay - 2 years in barrel, 100 year old vines. Full and rich but balanced and fine. 1er cru Burgundy killer.

So mineral, powdery and softly waxen, denser flavors, where a Buddha's Hand citrus aromatic takes over. For some odd reason it reminds me of simple Coche, with a certain Juraness

2012 stunning mineral driven with apple and lemon curd. Expressive and layered on the palate and tastes like you have ocean rocks rolling around in your mouth. A beauty from the Jura master!

Nuts, dry fruits, mushrooms and the signature honey coating mouthfeel we find in so many of Ganevat's white cuvées. A nice freshness brings everything together. It's all about balance here. Awesomely different!
