Bimbadgen Estate B Growers Chardonnay 2022

This attractive Upper Hunter Valley Chardonnay saw fermentation in oak barriques, before ten months maturation on lees. The oak was a mix of new and older barrels. The colour here is a gleaming straw/gold. The wine is bold and ripe and there are remnants of the oak influence still in the process of integration. The nose offers tropical notes with melon and florals. This is well crafted with an attractive creamy texture and good acidity running the full journey. A wine of focus and length. Delicious now and over the next three years.
