Gaja Gaia & Rey Chardonnay 2021

Rivals Grand Cru  White Burgundy, this refined wine features layers of apple, citrus and tropical fruit flavors beautifully blended with mineral and toasty oak. Amazingly complex, perfectly balanced, vibrant finish.

Gaia and Rey is the first white wine ever produced by the Gaja family. It comes from the Gaia & Rey vineyard, which was planted in 1979 and was one of Piedmont’s first Chardonnay vineyards. It is named for Angelo’s daughter, Gaia, and his grandmother, Clotilde Rey. 100% Chardonnay. Straw yellow in color, this wine has a rich nose, with hints of toast and vanilla as well as aromas of citrus fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with concentrated, ripe fruit balanced by lively acidity.
