Rochford Yarra Valley Estate Chardonnay 2021

An elegant and very complete Macon-like chardonnay whose intriguing bouquet reveals fresh grapefruit, kaffir lime and creamy vanilla oak backed by pronounced suggestions of coriander, oyster shell and grilled nuts. It’s generous and mouthfilling, long and smooth, with a creamy background of nougat beneath its citrusy, melon-like nad peachy flavour. There’s a fine chalkiness all down the palate and the wine comes together with shape and richness at the finish.
