Tasting Notes
Discover the elegance and complexity of the 2023 Kooyong Estate Chardonnay, a refined white wine from the acclaimed Mornington Peninsula. Crafted from handpicked grapes sourced exclusively from Kooyong’s Faultline and Farrago vineyard blocks, this Chardonnay offers a pristine expression of terroir and meticulous winemaking.
Whole-bunch pressed and wild fermented in French oak barriques (19% new), this wine is aged for 11 months on lees without battonage, then bottled unfined and with minimal filtration to preserve its natural purity.
Expect an expressive bouquet of white peach, lemon curd, citrus zest, and hints of ginger and fennel spice. The palate is focused and vibrant, layered with notes of mandarin, grapefruit, soft pear, and creamy lees, balanced by a tight zesty acidity and a lingering citrus pith finish. Elegant, structured, and cellar-worthy—yet offers immense drinking pleasure right now.
