    Gaja's daughter Gaia and grandmother Rey's names were the inspiration for this impressive Chardonnay: Gaia & Rey lies in the glass like a golden jewel and unfolds a balsamic fruity aroma of yellow peaches, melon and banana. On the palate, the alcohol component and use of wood are perfectly tamed by mineral and spicy notes. The first Chardonnay vines, which were planted in 1979 in Treiso (the estate's highest vineyard at the time) in the Langa, still provide the fruit for today's cult white wine Gaia & Rey, which was first produced in 1983.

    "The 2022 Gaia & Rey is another excellent white wine from Gaja in this difficult but surprising vintage. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and a kiss of French oak adorn this creamy, beautifully structured Chardonnay. Impressive." Vinous

    "The Gaja 2022 Langhe Gaia & Rey is a very expressive interpretation of Chardonnay, with extra aromatic intensity in this hot and dry vintage. The bouquet opens to Sicilian orange blossom, sweet almond and peach. There is a pretty mineral note and some spice too, but the citrusy note is what stands out most at the moment. The wine is 100% oak aged, but there has been a recent move to larger oak vessels used in combination with barrique. This pretty white finishes with an elegantly creamy texture." Wine Advocate

    "What a lovely Chardonnay, with cooked apple slices, pears, light cream and pineapple, but so well put together with a mouthfeel that is lovely and finely textured. Already tantalising now, but will get even better with age." James Suckling
