Lakes Folly Chardonnay
“A bloody terrible vintage, with lots of rain, but you can’t make bad chardonnay off this vineyard!” says maker Rod Kempe. The Hunter’s best chardonnay shines even in this season, with a lovely profile of understated white peach, white nectarine, lemon and grapefruit. Lovely complexity of spicy apricot, baked peach, hints of nutmeg and clove and rising notes of anise are subtly supported by cashew nut French oak. A soft style of mineral texture, vibrant structure and excellent persistence. Best price direct.
