Snake + Herring Corduroy Chardonnay 2022 Margaret River – 6 Bottles

WINERY INFORMATION: This vineyard has an excellent track record with chardonnay and we have been working with the owners since 2003. There is an obsessive attention to detail that delivers pristine hand-picked fruit perfect for whole bunch pressing. After chilling in a cold room overnight we press the whole clusters of chardonnay direct to barrel: no clarifying, no acid added, no yeast. TASTING NOTES: A complex nose: Sal says melons, and I reckon some grapefruit, yet there’s so much more happening. Roast almond, struck the match, bacon fat, layered and evolving…a wine to serve well chilled and savour as it warms in the glass. Textural and rich but with great acid balance, a seamless wine with the incredible length only great vineyards deliver.
