Port Phillip Estate Red Hill Chardonnay 2021

Yet another in the sub-regional collection of Mornington Peninsula Chardonnays from the team at PPE, this one really stood out as something special. There are those who feel that the Red Hill sub-region produces some of the region’s very best Chardonnay and this wine will do nothing to dissuade them of such a view. Quite pale lemon in colour. There are notes of matchsticks and lemon zest on the nose. Hazelnuts, hints of stonefruit and a minerally backing. The wine then has good focus and is linear in style. The balance and intensity sails through the full length of this wine with fine acidity intertwined with the rich fruit notes. Great drinking over the next three to five years – a serious Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay.
