Pooley Cooinda Vale Chardonnay 2021

Like the Pinots, the Chardonnays from Pooley’s two respective vineyards – Butchers and Cooinda Vale – show marked differences, particularly for the 2021 vintage. Stunning aromatics immediately draw you in. Citrus, nectarine, white peach, grapefruit, cashew, flinty notes and star jasmine. Immensely powerful, with incredible fruit concentration and textural chew. A real mouthful, as it were, with rich exotic yellow fruits, interwoven with green apple and citrus. So many elements in play, the oak imparting a little squeeze, smoke and cream, the acidity invigorating and driving the carry. Slight textural grip from the oak and phenolics, blurring to saline freshness. Dramatic, unbelievable Chardonnay. Waters Wine Co
