Mulline Portarlington Chardonnay 2019

100% Chardonnay from Nurringa Park Vineyard, Bellarine Peninsula. Sandy Loam and Clay on a bed of Limestone. Pressed straight to oak, 20% new French oak, barrel fermented and aged for 9 months. Only 110 dozen made.

Initially this is all about mouthfeel/texture/structure until the back-palate and finish, when grapefruit notes break free to populate the aftertaste with primary fruit flavours, starting with white peach and freshly cut Granny Smith apple. 13% alc, screwcap, drink to 2029. 97 points – James Halliday, The Weekend Australian
