The 2019 Cartology was whole-bunch-pressed and matured in cement eggs, amphorae, foudres and used barrels, fermented for between three weeks and 11 months, and kept on the lees for 12 months. It has a sublime and utterly captivating bouquet of honeysuckle, white peach and flecks of white chocolate and orange peel, all beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a crisp entry, offering vivid scents of citrus peel, lime, orange zest and stem ginger toward a finish that fans out with brio. Another outstanding Cartology from Chris Alheit. -- Neal Martin
A sleek, well-knit white, lightly waxy texture, offering a mouthwatering acidity that enlivens flavors of crunchy peach, orange blossom and Marcona almond. A racy streak of salinity drives the spiced finish. Chenin Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2026. 1,785 cases made, 300 cases imported. — AN
