2025 Sentio Beechworth Chardonnay

Chris Catlow established Sentio wines in Beechworth in 2013 after seven vintages on the Mornington Peninsula with Kooyong Estate, Portsea Estate and Paringa Estate. Sandro Mosele was one of a handful of mentors driving Chris Catlow in his early years. He has also worked with Sorrenberg and completed 5 vintages at Benjamin Leroux in Burgundy.
The 2025 vintage delivered a good sized crop of exceptional quality fruit. Sourced from three great vineyards in Beechworth - Piano Piano, Serengale and van Malsem, fermentation and aging took place in a combination of large format French oak and barriques, 20% of which were new.

A powerful, gorgeously fleshed Beechworth Chardonnay that’s a masterclass in refinement and texture.

Brilliant pale straw colour with flecks of green to the outskirts and a watery hue. Alluring scents of white peach, nectarine and dried honey are interwoven with biscuity nougat, cashew, faint crème brulee and spice. Rich, creamy textured and beautifully layered, the palate is engulfed with concentrated white peach, nectarine and dried honey flavours. Notions of biscuity nougat, spicy cashew, crème brulee and traces of gun flint lend further sophistication. Outstanding power with a long gorgeously fleshed finish. A masterclass in refinement and texture.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
