2024 Woodlands Woodlands Brook Vineyard Chardonnay

A beautifully fleshed Chardonnay with nicely balanced acidity and a long, refined finish that carries a gently creamed feel.

Brilliant very pale straw colour with a faint tinge of green around the edges and a watery hue. Sailing out of the glass are intense aromatics of white peach, pear, nectarine and subtle dried honey which are complimented by biscuity nougat, delicate cashew and spice notes. Beautifully fleshed, the palate is layered with white peach, nectarine and pear fruits which meld into a biscuity oak, nougat and spicy cashew back drop. Nicely balanced acidity with the long, refined finish carrying a gently creamed feel.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews……
An impressive young chardonnay picked early to retain natural vibrancy and freshness, then complemented by 12 months in oak following fermentation. It shows a slight creamy texture, kept neat and tight, with touches of lemon meringue, sea spray and even a hint of turmeric. The palate is long, linear and expressive of the variety.

The 2024 Chardonnay Brook Vineyard shows good weight and density, with punchy and pristine cantaloupe and grapefruit aromas wrapped in a blanket of fine French oak, all well composed. The palate is flavorsome in style, with gentle fresh cashew tones underpinned by a vibrant line of acidity that holds true over a long, sustained finish. Very young and should build nicely. Drink 2030-2036.
