#3 Stonier Reserve Chardonnay 2023 - Case of 6

Case of 6 - Stonier Reserve Chardonnay 2023

A wine of poise, power and sophistication. Floral elements of stone fruit blossom, and briney, oyster shell notes are interwoven with aromas of fresh cashews. The palate is striking for its persistence. There is an air of place, with a long, saline acid structure, kaffir lime leaf and roasted hazelnut flavours all in abundance. Absolutely stunning and delicious.

The 2023 season was influenced by unsettled weather the previous spring resulting in smaller crops. Mild weather and slightly above average rainfall best describes the growing season but a very dry February ensured that fruit ripened evenly and the grapes were in great condition for harvest.

The Reserve Chardonnay is a wonderful representation of our old Estate at Merricks with the KBS vineyard being the core component and a smaller percentage off the Evie block.
