Hay Shed Hill Margaret River Chardonnay 750ml

Vintage 2022

'This is a first-class estate chardonnay....' 97 Points This is a first-class estate chardonnay from a great vintage; using the best free-run juice fermented in French barriques and matured therein for 11 months. The richness of the white peach and melon fruit gives rise to classic each way drinking options. The Weekend Australian - James Halliday's Top 100 Wines 2023, 18 Nov 2023

The wine displays fresh green tinges on a pale straw colour. The nose exhibits aromas of fresh cut pear and honey dew melon with some zesty citric notes. There are no overt woody or buttery aromas with the primary fruit characters expressed with clarity and definition. The palate is fresh and lively with clean crisp acidity complementing the vibrant fruity flavours. The palate has very good extension and ends clean and bright. This is a restrained style of Australian Chardonnay and highlights how far we have come with this style of wine over the last decade.
