[SOLD-OUT] Oakridge Local Vineyard Series Henk Chardonnay 2019

 

"Bright, light colour, with a cashew nut aroma, attractive underlying complexities which continue through the palate. Intense and refined, precise and direct with long-lasting flavour and real finesse. A delicious wine. Pure fruit drives the wine magnificently. Great line and length. My pick of the 2019 Oakridge chardies." - Huon Hooke, Real Review

 

 

"The masters of Chardonnay are at it again, Henk is fast becoming one of the icons of the Yarra Valley. As always the interplay between fruit and winemaker influence is a compelling back and forth with white peach, taut nectarine and grapefruit meeting struck flint and almond meal on the nose. The palate has generous stone fruits set against a backdrop of citrus and restrained grapefruit, a weave of spice and mealy richness builds before green apple and peach give contrast. The finish has a flint like impact to lemon edged white peach, the length is excellent. An Australian Chardonnay of the highest order. " - Patrick Eckle, The Wine Reviewer

 

 

"Sourced frim a north-facing vineyard, sited in the red volcanic soils in Woori Yallock, and named after its owner, Henk. A warm, wet spring following a dry summer/autumn period has delivered good crops in near-perfect harvesting conditions. A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine - handpicking and whole bunch pressing directly to 500 litre French oak puncheons for natural fermentation followed by a 10 month maturation on lees." - Oakridge
