Paracombe Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2021

From an Adelaide Hills vineyard planted back in 1983, the juice went to a 500-litre French oak puncheon for a wild fermentation and subsequent malolactic ferment. Just 1,250 bottles made. A bright yellow colour here, the nose is redolent of citrus, white peaches, honeysuckle, grapefruit, the merest hint of gunflint and florals. Good intensity runs the full journey, as does some citrussy acidity. Decent length here and it certainly is a wine of promise. Enjoy over the next half dozen years. I like it a lot.
