Malivoire Forgotten Row Chardonnay VQA 2021

Made from later picked (but not forgotten in the end) grapes this is a very elegant, cushy chardonnay that has real poise and some s ophistication. It is very much in Malivoire’s calm, cool and collected style. Expect ripe peach pie fruit effortlessly integrated with wood spice, sourdough crust. Acid is even, alcohol just a bit warm (13.5%). Flavours stay very well focused and run to excellent to outstanding length. Tasted May 2025. (David Lawrason,winealign.com)
