2011 Galli Artigiano Chardonnay, Sunbury

Hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, the wine spent 10 months on lees which contributed to texture, complexity and plate weight.

This is a refined, subtle Chardonnay. A complex and powerful perfume, bursting with aromas of white nectarine, citrus freshness, with and a hint of grilled almonds. On the palate, it’s full of white stone fruit, complex nutty minerality/flintiness. All of this is perfectly balanced by the richness of high quality French oak, luscious and mouth-watering, juicy fruit. It has a creamy texture, and a crisp tight finish, making it a good example of elegant restrained Chardonnay that carries the complex flavours for remarkable length. 12.3% alcohol/volume.
