DB Schmitt, Sylvaner Zold 2021 Chardonnay Got it from Antic in

Got it from Antic in Lyon

while thyme and verbena bring the herbs

Il Classico is the most robust of the range

but retains the cut and thrust that we so desire from this variety

24 months ageing on the lees has given this bottling all kinds of texture

Everyone gushes over Riesling, but this is also a grape that can do it all. Like Riesling, but with more focus on herbs and spice. Especially here, where subtle skin contact and plenty of time in bottle has pushed the primary fruit back to reveal something really interesting. White pepper, bay, and botanicals, then comes that drying citrus fruit and apple skin grip.
