Ochota Barrels The Slint Chardonnay 2018
Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaThis cool Adelaide Hills chardy comes from 14-year-old organically farmed vines at 550m and on fractured rocky ironstone / quartz soils. After basket pressing and a native ferment on full solids in older barriques and one new puncheon, this undergoes weekly battonage for six months, and sees no MLF. Tightly wound and energetic, but gently cushioned and spiced by the rest in wood, this sings with green apple, verbena, lees, thistle and a wash of flinty salts on the finish. Lovely meyer lemon leads and finishes snappy and white honey kissed. This young wine grows with time in the glass, and in your cellar.Tasted: 23 March 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $60.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
