2021 Craggy Range Gimblett Gravels Vineyard Chardonnay

In Stock
Pale lime to pale straw. Vibrant aromas of white-fleshed peach, fresh cashew and kaffir lime. The fruit intensity is high on the palate, with power from start to finish. However, a constant thread of crunchy natural acidity persists throughout the palate, ensuring the wine is always in balance. The oak influence is subtle but frames the fruit perfectly. Our strongest release of this wine to date, owing to a fantastic vintage and the coming of age of our new plantings.
