2020 Dalwhinnie Moonambel Chardonnay, Pyrenees

Hand-picked fruit, whole-bunch pressed, wild ferment in barrel, matured 9 months in barrel on gross lees. Fogarty Wine Group winemaker, Julian Langworthy, knows a thing or two about chardonnay. Here, he delivers a complex and elegant interpretation, bringing flinty minerals, pristine sherbety lemon and grapefruit with pear, peach skin and almond flavours into a restrained, harmonious whole. Lithe, juicy and delicious now, with some way to go.

Redolent of white peaches, melon and a nutty, cashew-like oak on the nose. The palate is wonderfully fresh yet expressive, with ripe stone fruits drawn together by fine natural acidity. The mouthfeel is creamy with a long and persistent finish.
