Austins Chardonnay 2024

The fruit here comes from the Moorabool Valley at Geelong. The wine is the result of a selection from the best barrels by the team, with just 8,000 bottles made. Maturation is in French oak, 25% new. A deep straw hue, the style is pleasingly ripe and generous with the aromas weaving through stonefruits, orange rind, a touch of beeswax, cashews and a note rather reminiscent of lemon cheesecake. Good intensity and impressive length, there is a fine line of acidity running the journey. The wine should drink impressively for the next six to eight years.
