Kooyong 'Clonale' Chardonnay 2021
The Wine
Made from a blend of Chardonnay from Kooyong's estate Tuerong and Balnarring vineyards, the 2021 Kooyong Clonale Chardonnay opens with aromatic purity, showing lime, nectarine and green plum aromas, intertwined with hints of nougat and rolled oats.
The wine moves across the palate effortlessly, with soft orchard fruit flavours on the mid-palate. This is backed by delicate lemon and grapefruit acidity that pulls the palate long and taut, with subtle oak support. Another high quality, great value Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay from the team at Kooyong.
"This first tier for Kooyong is fabulous. Requisite white stone fruit, citrus and tangy acidity but it is the depth on the palate and vitality that sets the scene. Grilled nuts, leesy complexity, moreish and savoury. Spot on. Drink by 2027."
