[SOLD-OUT] Balnaves Chardonnay 2020

COONAWARRA CHARDONNAY WITH A CREAMY TEXTURE AND LIVELY ZESTINESS

 

"Soft, creamy style, some green melon, grapefruit tang, zestiness and a sense of old school, good school to it. Really nicely put together, lots of flavour, you can see that the trajectory will head into a butter, honeyed style, but right now is pretty raw in a way, but in good shape...I like its style. I like the generosity but vitality. It looks the goods in its vibe." - Mike Bennie, Wine Front

 

"Fresh and crisp, enjoy with fish or chicken or simply on its own

Vintage 2020 was very cool with many challenges, but great natural acidities. Chardonnay fruit was hand picked on the 10th March from both our Old block and Avery block. Whole bunch pressed juice was barrel fermented on solids in new (22%) and seasoned Louis Latour burgundy barriques, with 50% being wild ferment and 50% AWRI 1375 yeast. Lees contact for 11 months preceded bottling in March 2021, 27 barriques of Chardonnay were produced from the 2020 vintage." - Balnaves
