Decanter
Review Date: 05/2024The buzzing of the wild bee is felt in the honeyed aromatics that jump from the glass. Notes of apricot flesh, sweet flower pollen, and dried white flowers announce a depth and complexity to this Chardonnay. The palate delivers rich pear flavours. Hints of almond skin and lemon verbena are buoyed by cardamom and white tea leaves. Delicious, intricacy is balanced against ample fruit. (CP)

Apisoir, a word used to describe the terroir of honey, suggests The Wild Bee has been buzzing around carnations, tangerines and tart green melons. Those aromas and flavors are joined by traces of honey butter and cashews. The wine's elevated acidity and clean, brisk mouthfeel will revive the most jaded of palates. (MA)

The 2022 Chardonnay The Wild Bee is wildly vibrant with a mix of lemon zest and sweet mint complementing freshly sliced nectarine. This is full of energy with a burst of sour citrus and flinty minerals that cascades across the palate as ripe orchard fruits settle on the senses, all enlivened by a core of vibrant acidity. The 2022 cleans up remarkably well, crisp and refreshing, leaving a salty tinge that calls the taster back to the glass. (EG)

This lovely white is fresh and supple, offering pear and lemon flavors, with a hint of spiced nuts on the lingering finish. Drink now. (TF)
