2019 Best's Chardonnay, Great Western

Vanilla and peaches on the nose with a touch of melon. A soft, round stone fruit driven palate, mainly in the white peach and nectarine zone. A straightforward flavour profile, but the flavours are generous, soft and long and the acid line gives some tautness to the wine. A very good value wine 20 MAR 2021 Drink 2021–2026

Chardonnay was one of the varietals planted first in the Concongella Vineyard in the 1970’s even though cuttings were extremely hard to come by at the time. This wine comes from an old single vineyard located on a cool sheltered site within the Great Western GI. Our winemaker Justin Purser has considerable experience and a passion for making chardonnay. He assisted during four vintages with outstanding chardonnay producer Domaine de Montille in Meursault, Burgundy before taking his position at Best’s.

Bright Pale straw. Aromas of fresh baked bread, cashew nuts, gunflint and florals.The unctuous palate with creamy flavours of savoury biscuits and baked peaches is balanced by the delicate acidity and dry finish. Cellaring: 5 – 10 years
