Halliday Wine Companion – Serengale Vineyard Chardonnay 2019

Reviewed by Jeni Port, published 16 August 2022

Score: 95/100 (Gold)

Hand-picked fruit, fermented in a mix of old and new French oak using wild yeasts, unfiltered, minimal handling. An impressive wine giving full expression to Beechworth chardonnay with its noteworthy quiet power and intensity. Layer upon layer of citrus, grapefruit, mandarin skin, nectarine and white peach with a pinch of oak spice and grilled hazelnuts. Textural and bright and yet with so much hidden in reserve.
