This is a new wine from Salwey, first vintage is 2020. Pure Chardonnay, Burgundian clone.
And a really nice one!
Opens very quiet, quite cool, fresh - with some shy apricot, linden flowers, some herbs in the background. Very elegant.
On the palate this shows wonderful purity and precision. The stony minerality is in the forefront and forms a backbone around which fresh yellow stone fruit and very subtle wood elements gravitate. Juicy and bone dry, this can come across as a bit austere but there’s great depth here, and really nice energy too!
Love it!!
