After being recognised primarily for its red wines for many years, the Blass team started to focus considerable attention on lifting the chardonnay bar. It has resulted in a stream of very good wines being released. This Adelaide Hills Chardonnay offers some serious complexity and interest from the very first engagement on the nose. Notes of nougat and nectarine with a slightly funky lees character. The palate strikes with deep and rich textures throughout its multiple layers. It’s all barrel fermented and the way it has been brought together to retain its lively acidity and minerality is a feature.
