Bannockburn S.R.H. Chardonnay 2014
Geelong, Victoria, AustraliaSRH Chardonnay is a special 12-row selection planted in 1976, the oldest chardy vines at Olive Tree Hill Vineyard, and unique for its high proportion of marine deposits in the deep clay soils. After native ferment, this remains on lees in large French oak casks for two years. Elegant and powerful, with lemon curd, ripe yellow apple, baked pear, creme brûlée, flecked with flint and smoked stones and wrapped up in highly evident oak, still near the fore after all this time. However, the mineral vibrato on the palate strings this big wine taut to the lingering finish. Drinking well now, especially with generously flavoured white fish, pureed cauliflower or pillowy gnocchi in brown butter.Tasted: 07 January 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $92.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
