2019 Chardonnay
This Chardonnay is sourced from Heather and Rob Johansen’s block in Tumbarumba, 700 metres above sea level.
From the warm 2019 vintage, a complex Chardonnay with citrus and stone fruit flavours.
Elegant and bright with the classic Tumbarumba mineral acid backbone.
13.5 % Alc/Vol
A light and vibrant yellow colour, youthful and fresh. A complex young nose showing white nectarines and figs, lemon curd and polished oak.
Bursting with cool-climate credibility
The palate is creamy with a lemon zest drive that carries it right through to a sustained finish. Nervy and very young. Everything in its right place for a bright future. Bursting with cool-climate credibility.
Interesting chardonnay out of Tumbarumba.
It places its bets on the future. It’s lean and direct with bacon-y oak sitting on melon, nectarine and citrus.
It’s taut and textural
with a honeysuckle note rising through the finish. It’s on the way to a good place but leave it alone for now.
