Sidewood Estate Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2021 12.0% 6x75cl

"Exceptional chardonnay for the price, boasting that creamed kernel of cashew and nougatine core of more premium expressions. A breeze of cantaloupe, white peach and nectarine blows long and across a gentle framework of vanillin oak. A juicy, effortless finish." (James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion

Individually selected parcels were picked from selected rows at Sidewood’s Mappinga and Ironstone Road vineyards. Gently pressed, the free-run juice was then barrel fermented using wild yeast in 100% French oak. The wine was left to mature for ten months before rigorous barrel selection.

The wine has tantalising aromas of jasmine and ripe lemon but with a round, velvety structure. The palate showcases crisp, mouth-watering flavours of grapefruit, apricot and white peach, finishing with lingering, crisp minerality.

Drinking beautifully now but will continue to evolve with careful cellaring.
