Hirsch Hill Chardonnay Toolangi 2022

A very fine Yarra Valley Chardy from the Toolangi sub-region, this saw fermentation and maturation in French oak, 20% of which was new. A pale straw hue here, there is serious intensity throughout and the signs of very early complexity already evident. The nose reveals notes of figs, apricot skins, citrus and cashews. A wine of focus, energy, finesse and precision, this is exciting. Sure, early days at the moment but it will really excite in two years. Good balance, a line of saline acidity and a long and lingering finish, the wine has it all. Will drink beautifully over the next four to six years.
