Chardonnay
2021 Chardonnay
Orange, New South Wales
Aromas of peach, nectarines, citrus and hints of nougat. Dry palate with flavours of apricot, lemon curd and fresh bread and a long spiced finish. Enjoy with pumpkin ravioli with burnt butter.
From $31.50 per 750ml
94 POINTS, WINELINES, GILBERT LABOUR
Limpid golden hue on the pour and barrel ferment aromas of pencil shavings initially attract both the eyes and the olfactory senses. Full-bodied delivery of primary varietal fruit characteristics of stonefruit, grapefruit, mixed herbs and a hint of jasmine blossoms, impact across the palate. The cool-climate natural acid component is delicately softened by the deft malolactic treatment to provide a Chardonnay of texture, substance and elegance. Very enjoyable now but will also reward some cellaring.
91 POINTS, QWINE
My first look at a Chardonnay on my recent trip to Orange and this release from Slow Wine Co set the scene very well. An easy going wine, it shows good presence with well-handled oak a feature. The soft presence was a highlight too. Seeing 50% new oak, raw cashews and white fleshed stone fruit are partnered by nougat and figs with a rush of citrus juice on close. Great stuff.
