GUM Chardonnay
Chardonnay, Cathedral Range
2022
Hand-harvested and firmly pressed as whole bunches. This chardonnay was fermented in new Stockinger puncheon and stainless steel. Pale with green edges, this chardonnay offers glass-filling aromas of crushed rock, struck match, lime and grapefruit zest, jasmine and spice.
Flavours carry through to a dense and powerful palate with savoury complexity and a finely detailed acid line.
"It’s all minerals and tart citrus, green apple and pink grapefruit with the faintest almond savouriness under it all. It feels ultimately very refreshing, tingly and tart, zest and ultra pure overall. Crisp and clean, lean and bright. A mouth-watering chardonnay of delicacy and sophistication. I like it a lot.”
