2022 Black Label Chardonnay

Product Info

Premium Margaret River Chardonnay from two vineyards.

The fruit was hand harvested, whole bunch pressed, wild fermented, lees stirred and matured in a selection of new and seasoned French oak barrels for 9 months.

Pale lime core to rim. Ripened white fruits of pear and apple with subtle toast and butter complexities. Dry, balanced acid, pear and apple characters of the nose flow though to the palate. Shows finesse to the finish.

AWARDS & REVIEWS:

"Notes of peaches, sliced pineapple, pie crust, white almonds and dried herbs. Medium- to full-bodied with a creamy texture. Focused and balanced, with delicious fruit and a bright aftertaste. Drink or hold."

The Real Review - 93 points

"Intense bouquet featuring a generous amount of smoky, struck-flint reduction, grapefruit/lemon as well, the palate rich and full-blown with some apparent sweetness and opulent ripe fruit. This is a big, generous, old-school chardonnay that will have many fans. Full-bodied and concentrated, with generous but not overdone oak. A real crowd-pleaser.  Drink now to 2034." Huon Hooke, March 2024
