2023 Stefano Lubiana Collina Chardonnay

96 Points - Tom Kline, Inside Burgundy

“Meyer lemon, mandarin pith and subtle fine cedar mark the opening, before a swirl of the glass unlocks pastry dough, grapefruit, nougat, yellow apple and further citrus preserves. Some sweet citrus blossom lift with further air, adding prettiness to the perfume. There's a lot going here, and it all works. The palate is sapid and textural, with Meyer lemon and savoury cedar taking charge and mandarin oil, yellow apple, preserved lemon and grapefruit in tow. Big acidity here, and it's a great feature as it coils around the fulsome feel of the palate, drawing tension and length through a long, concentrated finish. This is an impactful and impressive Chardonnay of power, detail and complexity.”

“The 2023 Collina Chardonnay is floral and white, with pineapple, nectarine and green apple, sugared almond, a hint of marzipan, ground nuts/meal and scraped vanilla pod. This is a gorgeous wine, one of light and dark accents, shadows and illumination, lifted spice and dense fruit. It's a beautiful wine that comes heartily recommended.”

“Tightly wound aromas of lemon peel, lime curd, orange blossoms and flint. The palate is medium-bodied with laser-like acidity and a creamy texture, giving notes of mandarin rind, white nectarines and red apple skin. Made from select hillside parcels and treated with a light hand in the winery. Pure class. Drink or hold.”
