By Farr Chardonnay 2023
Lifted high note honey with a touch of ginger snap biscuit, oatmeal and hint of vanilla oak. This nuttiness perfectly complements the ripe stone fruit notes. The cool vintage perfectly suits the richness Nick and Gary love in their chardonnay. Walks the tightrope perfectly - it's rich and generous yet restrained by perfectly balancing acid. Great drinking immediately with perfect tension for medium term cellaring. Drink now - 2030. Awesome. Ian Cook, FWC.
The perfect chord. Well maybe not perfect, as there are so many variations of chords, but when they sound so beautifully balanced, top notes and bass notes, just right. Perfect for me, perhaps is the better way to describe it. Describing beautiful wine is difficult, it is often linked to emotion rather than an equation, but when you taste it, it becomes obvious. The fruit is ripe, but not canned peachy stuff, ripe as though you took something from the vine at just the right moment, not a moment too soon or too late. I'm tasting this wine at 'room temperature', so maybe 13 degrees or so. Fruit expression, crushed rock, nuttiness, they sound like weird bedfellows, but they fit together so well. The epitome of balance. Saying more only takes away from what is just brilliant Chardonnay. Nick Farr, Producer.
