Australian Chardonnay Discovery 3-Pack
Australia2022 Bremerton 'Batonnage' Chardonnay, Langhorne Creek SA
Bâtonnage is a French term referring to the stirring of the yeast lees in the barrel. On the nose this wine shows lifted lemon curd with hints of stone fruit and spice. The palate is expressive and complemented by restrained oak and a creamy mouthfeel. The palate is tempered by a fine acid structure and textural finish giving the wine great length and persistence.
2020 Thompson Estate 'The Specialist' Chardonnay, Margaret River WA
Clean pristine lemon/lime citrus fruit, delicate peach and nectarine characters fill the palate accompanied by well integrated, exotic oak spice flavours. A lingering, crisp yet seamless acid line and persistent fruit flavours leave a fresh, clean, captivating finish. Drinking well now, but could benefit from cellaring up to 10 years.
2022 Cherubino 'Pedestal' Chardonnay, Margaret River WA
Aromas of lemon, peaches and tropical fruits give way to pure, clean flavours on the palate. Fine, persistent flavours with balanced acid and a long finish. An exceptionally elegant wine, showing the benefit of careful oak treatment. A true representation of value.
