Lion's Tooth is 'dent-de-lion', or dandelion. Never knew that's where the word dandelion came from, despite the huge amount of French wine we've drunk.
There are dandelions all over this tiny 0.4 ha site that produces Chardonnay of rare depth and complexity. It is bigger and broader than the Field of Fire while still retaining tension and drive.
Chalky, sinewy, needs opening up in the glass, or time in the cellar.
One of NZ's most exceptional white wines.
