Jayden Ong Chestnut Hill 2018 Chardonnay Yarra Valley, Victoria
$46.00
Style: White: Fine, round & complex
Producer: Jayden Ong
Region: Mount Burnett, Victoria
Grape: Chardonnay
Vintage: 2018
Soil: Mixed
Farming: Sustainable
Oak: Old oak
Alcohol: 13.4%
Glassware: Burgundy Stem
Decant: Not required
Serving Temperature: 14 – 16°C
The Wine: A beautifully pure and vibrant style of Chardonnay. Green apples and pear combine on the nose with nutty, savoury complexity. There is a strong sense of minerality to the nose, smoke and crushed rock. The palate is streaky and racy while still delivering waves of flavour and texture. Good now, but will live in the cellar over the next few years.
