2022 Provenance Geelong Chardonnay

Rich and creamy textured yet fresh with medium to full body weight and a long refined finish.

Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Delightful white peach and dried honey scents emanate from the glass complimented by hints of crème brulee, citrusy nougat, delicate cashew and spice. Rich and creamy textured with medium to full body weight, the palate is layered with fleshy white peach, dried honey, citrusy nougat, crème brulee and subtle roasted cashew, faint infusions of gun flint. Mouthfilling yet fresh it has a long refined finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 12.9%

Other Reviews….
Whole-bunch pressed, settled overnight and racked to French barriques (38% new) the next day. Some mlf depending on the batch. The richest and most powerful of the three ’22 regional chardonnays from Provenance. Here you'll find aromas of ripe stone fruits, toasted cashew and a little vanillin from the oak, which has already been absorbed by the fruit. Textured, structured and long. Buy all three chardonnays on release and have fun comparing them! Drink by 2029.
