2022 Printhie Topography Chardonnay, Orange

Orange Wine Show 2023

2 Trophies Best Young Chardonnay

 Best White Wine Of Show

Sitting up high at 1050m elevation. Struck match and grapefruit pith and friable grey rock. Lemon meringue pie, almond kernels and semolina. The wine is nimble on its feet with a dewy and fluid movement. This showcases the quality of fruit grown in the far reaches of Mount Canobolas.

Chardonnay is the standout white wine variety in the Orange Region with a distinctive regional style. High elevation vineyards accentuate this style. 

This is a lightly oaked style of Chardonnay where the fruit stays front and centre. The French oak offers structure and depth, but the fresh zesty lemon and grapefruit characters shine. It has hints of matchstick flint and gentle tannins that carry flavour. The acidity will pair well with a creamy pasta dish, so why not try it with a Carbonara? Best enjoyed over the next 2-4 years.
