Blackstone Paddock Limited Release Chardonnay 2021

A warm year in Margaret River, yet the early picking of this early-ripening variety ensured it didn’t become too influenced by the heat that emerged later in the vintage. The result is a wine of complexity, with layered fruit characters displaying the typical stone fruit, melon, and slightly butterscotch character. The palate has a fine, zingy feel with subtle oak influence but is largely driven by powerful fruit intensity. ALDI exclusive.
