Philip Shaw No 11 Orange Chardonnay 2022 - 6 Bottles

Wine Description

WINERY INFORMATION:

Chardonnay is the most established variety in the Orange region and also in the Koomooloo vineyard. Since the mid 90’s, Koomooloo has been producing Chardonnay with a high level of quality. Chardonnay is a noted variety, achieving relatively quick maturity from the vines. It was looking at being a wonderful season. Several major weather events, however, did their best to intervene. Most of our chardonnay was harvested fairly early to avoid these events. The wine is showing remarkable volume or as one critic put it, “stuffing”.

TASTING NOTES:

No.11 displays a light, bright straw colour with a green hue which is a sign of youth. The aroma is very youthful with citrus and white peach characters and some subtle oak. The crisp flavours from the full of vibrant varietal characters give way to a wine with great mid-palate softness. The integrated oak adds texture to deliver a fineness that is long and clean. Drink to 2018.
