Velich Darscho Chardonnay 2021 750ml

Vinous 94 Points | The 2021 Darscho is a pure Chardonnay from vines that are around 25 years old. The bright energy of the wine hits you with the first sniff; there is lift, brightness and something immensely citric and pervasive that hits the pleasure center of the brain. This has an exquisite shape. It glides and moves with agility, with the dynamic of a drop of liquid rolling across plumage—always entire, rounded, shining, smooth and so mobile. The finish simply sinks into soil, draws you in, seasons the tongue with its saltiness and floors you with its incredible equanimity. The finish is endless, profound and ineffable. (Bone-dry). Darscho is named after a smaller lake in the village and comes from vineyards which are 35-50 years old.
