From an ideal 2017 vintage comes the TarraWarra Reserve Chardonnay. Hand picked, whole bunch pressed, natural fermentation with no acid additions or malolactic fermentation.

TarraWarra Estate, Reserve, Chardonnay, Yarra Valley, 2017

Pale straw/gold in the glass. Complex interplay of aromas eventually become friendly after a little reduction blows off: rich meal, hazelnut, fig, honeycomb and lemon zest. Complexity through exceptional barrel work, the signature richness of TarraWarra receives a vintage blessing of refreshing acidity to show vibrancy and elegance as the layers peel back one sip at time. An excellent wine.
