Similar notes to 71 weeks ago. The citric acid which was more noticeable back then has softened and has kept this Chardonnay fresh and youthful at 9 years of age. Still delicate with those mealy nutty notes - more citrus/grapefruit than stone fruit, although under ripe white peach notes starting to develop. Will go on for a couple more years.

Aug 12th, 2021Mid lemon in colour. Some mealy funky notes. On the palate sweet citrus on palate with profound intensity and very long with medium plus acidity. Blossoming at 8 years of age from one of Australia’s best Chardonnay makers and Chair of the Royal Brisbane Wine Show, David Bicknell. Post fermentation from 30% new French Oak barrels the wine was sulphured in situ to prevent malo conversion and preserve the natural high acidity. The following night overtones of pineapple juice.

Apr 1st, 2020Mid Lemon in colour. Notes of Citrus fruit more than stone fruit. On the palate the wine making techniques using sulphur post fermentation to prevent malolactic conversion and preserving high acidity was used. M plus intensity on Palate but in the leaner style compared to Margaret River. Wine Maker David Bicknell was just awarded the Gourmet Traveller winemaker of the Year.
