Region: Adelaide Hills Grapes: Chardonnay First Glance: Textural, Pure, Stonefruit, Mineral
The Wine: Hand picked on the 19th and 30th March from Lobethal and Piccadilly, pressed to French oak puncheons (35% new), 65% malolactic, 11 months on yeast lees, filtered and bottled.
Textural and fuller-figured Chardonnay here, but still with pristine crystalline acidity tightening all that gorgeous peach and lemon curd. Some subtle toast and vanilla as well. This is very compelling drinking at a fabulous price.
