Willem Kurt Beechworth Chardonnay 2023
$ 45.00 incl. GST
Description
Barrel fermented and raised in French oak, 25% new. Selected barrels only saw lees stirring and malolactic fermentation, simple winemaking allowing the fruit to shine through.
“There’s an inherent complexity to this chardonnay. It pushes hay into peach, smoked bacon into grapefruit, and oatmeal into citrus, and while it has semblances of slippery smoothness – or richness, even – it feels energetic throughout, and ultimately lengthy. The way flavour sweeps through the finish is particularly enjoyable, and of particular note. This is another winner under the Willem Kurt label.”
94 points, Campbell Mattinson, Winefront
