Miceli Olivia’s Chardonnay 2021

Fermentation of this Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay was in oak with full malolactic as well and subsequent maturation for around twelve months. There is quite an intense yellow hue to this wine and a nose which offers notes of cashews, peaches, hints of nuts and also gives the impression of a surprising shimmer of strawberries, but it has attractive citrus characters to the fore. Tight, focused, good acidity, a supple texture and a lingering finish all combine to make this an impressive Chardonnay. In a year or two, expect some complexity to emerge. Enjoy this over the next four to six years.
