2021 Chardonnay
STYLE
The 2021 vintage gave us perfect conditions for ripening which has produced a structured and textural Chardonnay. White peach and stone fruit characters combined with citrus notes. 60% new French oak gives toasty, nutty and baking spice aromas and flavours. Partial malolactic fermentation to retain the crisp, salivating finish.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The Mendoza clone joins with fellow clones 95 and IV 101 to produce a tightly coiled youngster of some refinement. Flinty grapefruit, lemon, white peach, nectarine, hazelnut oak and spice present a complex bouquet. There's a power to the fruit, embraced and enhanced by a nutty creaminess, courtesy of time in 60% new French oak. The wine has supped on the oak and still comes out integrated, with the additional bonus of a light savouriness. Bracing, firm finish. Jeni Port for Halliday 28/6/2022
