Château Tanunda Grand Barossa Chardonnay 2024

Fermentation for this deeply flavoured Barossa Chardonnay is in mostly older French oak, with a contribution from new barrels to add to the structure and complexity of the wine. Quite a ripe style, there is some refinement here as well. Undoubtedly a Chardonnay designed for the crowds, not the critics, with the focus very much on flavour. Deep straw in colour, on the nose we have notes of stone fruits, florals, peach kernels, melon and crushed almonds. Attractively textured, there are hints of oatmeal on the palate and the wine has decent length. For enjoying over the next three to four years.
