Allegiance Wines Unity Tumbarumba Chardonnay 2021

This is an exceptional local cool climate Chardy. 100% barrel fermented in French oak hogsheads, 22% new, with ten months on lees. Pale lemon with flecks of green, this has a nose immediately offering complexity, and is a little bit exciting thanks to good oak integration, with a light, deft hand. We have notes of cashews, stonefruits, peaches, hazelnuts and more. Seamless and focussed on the palate where we move to more peach notes and melons with very good length. Drink any time up to 2030.
