Lakes Folly Chardonnay 2017
hunter valley,

$100
The 2017 Vintage was one of the best I have seen in my time winemaking in the Hunter (30 vintages now!), and I am very excited with the Chardonnay (and the Red) from this year. A nose of white stone fruits with hints of yeasty brioche and some minerality. Subtle, perfectly balanced French oak. The palate has a tight and fine structure with incredible acid line running through the wine. White peach fruits dominate, with hints of citrus. The perfect balance of fruit to acid on this wine will see it have the potential to cellar for 10-15 years+. An excellent wine that will reward cellaring. 95 points. – Rodney Kempe, Winemaker
