Description
Bannockburn Chardonnay 2019 vintage has fresh citrus acids and stone fruit at its cored.
The subtle winemaking inputs making this wine an ideal pairing for a wide range of matches.
The vines for this fruit were planted on Olive Hill Tree in 1976 and on Winery Block in 1981.
A dry and moderate season became warmer after Christmas and ripening accelerated to a slightly early harvest at the end of February 2019.
Straw-coloured but then fresh and pear-like on the palate.
Interesting wine, quite distinctive, with flashes of quartz and sweet cedar matched to gun smoke and lemon curd.
It has both length and intensity on its side, along with complexity, but perhaps not harmony.
It’s not close to ready; it needs time.
