2022 Toolangi F Block Chardonnay

96 POINTS

Philip Rich - Halliday's Wine Companion

Sourced entirely from the 2001-planted, 0.4ha F Block. The fruit was whole-bunch pressed to French barriques (20% new) and fermented using natural yeasts; 40% mlf with no lees stirring; 125 dozen. A vibrant green gold. A seductive bouquet with its aromas of stone fruits, fresh honeycomb and toasted cashews. Gently mouth-filling and textured on the palate with a fine vein of acidity giving the wine structure and keeping it balanced. I like the touch of phenolics on the long finale too.
