Tasting notes:
Fruit flavours are in the cool to moderate spectrum of citrus, white flowers, ripe grapefruit and melon. The style is mid-weight with elegant oak nicely tucked in, providing texture and lingering flavours of cashew, roasted almond and gun flint. The structure has a tight shape with the finesse and concentration that are hallmarks of Trinity Hill Chardonnay. It displays delicacy but richness and the beautifully linear acidity makes it a fantastic match with food.
Reviews:
There’s a very fresh and attractive style to this lemon, pear and grilled-almond chardonnay with a very textural and layered feel to the palate. Such good depth and drive here. Drink now. Screw cap.
All barrel-fermented in 50% new French oak puncheons (500-liter barrels), the 2017 Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay hints at struck match on the nose, followed by scents of toasted nuts and ripe peaches. It's medium to full-bodied, with a plump, silky mouthfeel and a harmonious mixing of flavors some might call seamless. Clean, citrusy notes mark the long finish.
