Gaia & Rey Chardonnay Gaja 2021

Gaja Gaia & Rey Chardonnay 2021 is a Burgundy-style dry white wine produced by the renowned Gaja estate in the Langhe sub-region of Piedmont, northern Italy. The 2021 was sourced from two estate Chardonnay vineyards and matured in a combination of Stockinger foudres and oak barrels (10% new). "A barrel sample, the 2021 Gaia & Rey is fresh with mineral lift, flinty reduction, and tropical aromatics of ripe peach, wildflowers, elegant wood spice, and pineapple. It is medium to full-bodied and balanced, with vibrant acidity and a rounded mid-palate. An energetic white with wonderful concentration and good length, there is a singularity to this wine that is hard to replicate." Jeb Dunnuck, 2023
