A beautifully balanced Chardonnay smashing the pleasure zone. Wow!
The 2018 vintage in Macedon has been heaped with praise. This Chardonnay was picked over three days with clones and blocks kept separate. Wild yeast fermented, it spent 12 months on lees.
Winemaker Matt Harrop describes this wine as shapely. Take a sip and you'll see he's nailed it. Dripping in white stone fruit, there's good depth and concentration. Almond meal, raw cashews and a vanilla creamy drive queue behind a generous squeeze of lemons and grapefruit. Nicely weighted through the mouth with dangerously moreish textural feels, the acidity has been well handled and dances on point. Race to this. Run don't walk.
Drink to eight years.
