Allegiance Wines The Unity Tumbarumba Chardonnay 2022

A single block of high altitude Chardonnay from the Tumbarumba region provided the fruit for this delicious example of Australia’s favourite white grape. 100% barrel fermentation with 22% of that new, followed by ten months oak maturation. Pale yellow in colour, there are lovely lemony notes on the nose, supported by spices, florals, garden fresh herbs and more, but the wine gives the impression one might get if one was standing in a lemon orchard with a gentle summer breeze rustling the blossoms. Nicely balanced and well integrated, the palate has density and yet maintains some elegance. A mid-length wine with a supple texture which has a good four to five years ahead of it and the potential to push the score higher, over that period.
