Gaia & Rey 2023 from Gaja is a Chardonnay from the Langhe. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Treiso and Serralunga, the wine benefits from limestone and clay soils that impart a distinct mineral depth. The 2023 vintage offers a profile of golden apple, citrus curd and acacia honey, supported by a rich and expansive palate. Fermentation and maturation in French oak have added layers of toasted brioche and vanilla without overwhelming the wine’s natural fruit purity. It possesses a firm acidic backbone and a long, saline finish that suggests significant potential for development.
