The 2016 Bentrock Chardonnay is yet another absolutaly brilliant wine in this vintage from Sandhi. It instantly begins to impress with its striking aromas of ripe citrus fruits, ginger, Asian pear, flinty mineral and crushed stones that all develop in the glass. It has exceptionally pure fruit, which is balanced by gorgoeus bright acidity as everything comes together beautifully on the long finish. Today this is already nearly impossible to resist, especially after some extended air contact. I certainly look forward to watching this wine develop over the course of the next decade.
