Pale straw yellow hue.
Youthfully closed at first pour but opening to a powerful flinty mineral complexity, toasted brioche, grilled hazelnuts with subtle ripe yellow stone fruits. Broad shoulders with a rich, chalky, mouth-filling texture that is flowing and long. Ripe yellow stone fruits, hints of almonds and hazelnuts. A salty and salivating wine that marries power and elegance.
This 2019 Lion’s Tooth is an elegant, youthful example of power and intensity which should age gracefully for many years.

"Taut, nervy chardonnay with citrus, grapefruit, green apple, saline, oyster-shell, ginger, baguette crust and green apple. You can practically taste the vineyard's limestone-rich soils. A high-energy wine showing a strong sense of place and with the ability to develop well with bottle age."
