2018 Kooyong Faultline Chardonnay, Mornington Peninsula

With a classic and typical nose, the 2018 Faultline presents aromas of lemon peel, nectarine and honeysuckle. With air, it shows more intriguing notes of fresh cream, candied ginger together with a fleck of flint. More stone fruit characters appear on the long, driven and complex palate. Strong brine and preserved lemon flavours run throughout, together with an attractive mid-palate suppleness. This builds momentum with detail and finishes with fresh acid and clarity. It requires time in the cellar to reach its full potential.
