2022 De Bortoli Section A5 Chardonnay

Displays impressive textural flesh with fresh, energetic acidity lending tension across the long gently creamed conclusion.

Brilliant very pale straw colour with green tinted edges and a watery hue. Lifted aromas of pear, nectarine and grapefruit mix with whiffs of bees wax, toast and gun flint. Displaying impressive textural flesh, pear and nectarine fruits are underscored by dried honey, biscuity oak, almond and gun flint elements. Fresh, energetic acidity lending tension across the long gently creamed conclusion.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 12.7%

Other Reviews….
From an elevated, '76-planted site in Dixons Creek. A bright green gold. Subtle scents of stone fruits, honeysuckle and jasmine. Still taut and tightly wound on the palate, the long, persistent and saline finish suggests this will blossom over the next 12–24 months. Drink by 2028.
