2023 Rob Hall Harriet’s Vineyard Chardonnay

Brilliant pale straw colour with highlights of green around the outskirts and a watery hue. Lifted aromas of nectarine, white peach and cashew are trailed by faint dried honey, biscuity nougat and flint notes. Rich, fleshy textured white peach, nectarine and dried honey flavours carry wonderful refinement across the mid weighted palate. Biscuity nougat, citrus, cashew and spice elements lend further interest. A beam of fresh acidity energises the long, elegant finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 12.5%

Other Reviews….
From Harriet's Vineyard in Healesville. Barrel fermented and matured in seasoned hogsheads and puncheons. A full, bright green gold. Ripe clingstone peaches, citrus zest and ginger snap can all be found on the bouquet of this nicely put-together chardonnay. The palate is textured, flavoursome and balanced, and there's a fine thread of acidity running through the wine that refreshes the palate. Nicely done. Drink by 2028.
