2024 Juniper Cornerstone Wilyabrup Vineyard Chardonnay

Fleshy textured with fresh acidity lending an energetic feel to the gently creamed, lingering finish.

Wild fermented and aged in French oak for 10 months. Brilliant pale straw colour with green highlighted edges and a watery hue. Aromas of white peach and nectarine intermeshed with whiffs of dried honey are trailed by some grapefruit, citrusy nougat and faint gun flint notes.
Fleshy textured white peach and nectarine fruits are complimented by dried honey, subtle biscuity nougat, citrus and gun flint accents. Fresh acidity lending an energetic feel to the gently creamed, lingering finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 12.5%

Other Reviews…..
While this is so textural and fulsome, it comes etched with electrifying acidity and definition. Expect grapefruit and lemon, lemon balm and white stone fruit, with dabs of spice, light creamy lees, and the acidity racing through ensuring this is vibrant, lively and utterly compelling. It finishes long and convincingly. Drink by 2035.
