Penny's Hill 'The Minimalist' Chardonnay, Adelaide Hills, Australia

Details

A layered nose showing white stone fruits and spice with hints of cashews, chalky and flint notes. The wine has power and poise, balanced by a tight, linear structure with superb texture and complexity. ‘The Minimalist’ Chardonnay finishes with exceptional natural acidity and lingering fruit flavour.

Barrel fermented (30% new) under the aegis of ambient yeast before almost immediate bottling, this is an effortless mid-weighted chardonnay. Brimming with forward peachy notes curling their way around a creamy core of cashew, vanilla bean and nougat. The oak, a guiding totem.
