BK Wines Carte Blanche 2022
Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaCarte Blanche gives BK the freedom to create whatever he'd like every vintage, playing around with process rather than sticking to terroir. In 2022, this is all the leftover single vineyard chardonnay lees blended with pinot gris and riesling and grĂ¼ner, along with other fermentation lees. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered. Very textural, with green apple, pear skin, white peach, lemon pith running along a deeply creamy lees bed, shadowed by French oak and sharpened with a flinty whip, finishing with a saline wake. Lovely tension in this textural white, drinking like a very smartly complexed chardonnay. Enjoy now, or easily over next few years with Diam closure. Don't drink too chilled.Tasted: 03 September 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $46.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
