Giaconda, "Beechworth Vineyard," Victoria, Australia, Chardonnay, 2022

Sure, Australian Chardonnay at this price point with a screw cap seems insane.  And you'd be right, until you taste the juice.  Easily could be confused with Grand Cru Burgundy in a blind tasting that would be triple the price.  Rick Kinzbrunner has been heralded as one of the top 10 Chardonnay producers in the world and his Chardonnay has earned top accolades throughout Australia and internationally.  A wine to hold for a few years to truly grasp the magic.
