93 Points Vinous
The 2024 Chardonnay Karia is heady and racy from start to finish. Lemon confit, tangerine oil, marzipan and white flowers are beautifully laced together. The Karia offers a striking mix of vintage 2024 richness tempered by partially blocked malolactic fermentation.
 
92 Points James Suckling
Aromas of preserved lemons, salted nuts, sea spray, baking spices and orchard fruit. The midweight palate has a phenolic, slightly cloying mouthfeel, balanced with taut acidity.
 
Winemaker Notes:
This is a graceful Chardonnay with fragrant aromas of ripe mango, honeydew melon and peach along with hints of key lime pie, apple and floral notes. This medium-bodied wine has a bright and flavorful mouthfeel full of fruit and a touch of creamy vanilla spice, leading to a lasting citrus and melon finish.
 
Food Pairings:
Try pairing this Chardonnay with grilled chicken with lemon aioli, grilled salmon with a cucumber, tomato and fresh dill salsa or roast chicken breast stued with spinach and feta cheese.
