2017 Seville Estate Chardonnay

Brilliant very pale straw almost water like core with a greenish tinged outskirts. Nosing evokes aromas of nectarine, citrus and light dried honey overlaid with subtle gun flint, biscuity oak and spice notes. Medium weight, there’s an understated intensity and richness to the refined yet fleshy flavour profile of white peaches and ripe nectarines which sits over subtle dispersions of dried honey, biscuity oak, citrusy nougat characters and traces of gun flint. Nicely rounded, finishing dry and fresh with a long delicately creamed aftertaste.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews….
Estate-grown, fermented and matured in French hogsheads, puncheons and foudres (2200l). Employs the minimalist vinification techniques that so brilliantly capture the terroir of the Yarra Valley and its districts - here back to the Upper Yarra. This floats and dances in the mouth with the delicacy of a fairy with gossamer intensity. Drink by 2035.
