A. Rodda - Baxendale Vineyard Chardonnay - 2021

Hand picked. Fermentation in oak (35% new) and transferred to tank after 12 months for four months on lees. In keeping with its 600m elevation, fruit from the Baxendale vineyard always shows impressive acidity and energy. In a great vintage such as 2021, it brings a tight linear presence, balanced and beautifully integrated, providing an ideal launching pad for bright citrus, stone fruits and aromatic florals. A busy, racy youngster with a big future ahead. 95 Points - Jeni Port - Halliday Wine Companion
