2023 Chardonnay, Beechworth
AU$55.00

Product Details
Cool climate Chardonnay characters, with grapefruit, melon, white stone fruit, mineral and a hint of struck match. The palate shows richness despite the lack of malolactic fermentation, principally from the vines now over 40 years of age.
An impressively fragrant, sunny and complex chardonnay from a former Halliday Viticulturist of the Year – the man knows how to both grow and make superb chardonnay with a tapered elegance. Aromas to excite in apple blossom, honeysuckle, nectarine, peach, citrus and grilled nuts. Makes a persuasive argument for further ageing, but who can go past that plush, textural palate immersed in summer stone fruits, oatmeal, roast nuts and struck match enhanced by some striking Beechworth acidity? Not me. It's way too tempting."
- 95 points by Jeni Port for Halliday Wine Companion.
The nose is minerally and chalky, supported by aromas of lemon curd, orange blossoms and graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with a generous texture and focused acidity, giving notes of lime zest and grapefruit with a saline edge. Very focused and linear. Drink or hold."
- 93 points by Ryan Montgomery for James Suckling.
