Tasting note
Mid-straw gold and bright. Floral and waxy with lemon, spiced stone fruit, brown spices and honeycomb – lots within yet definitely in the savoury spectrum. Fuller bodied, rich, almost al dente with its phenolics and layers of texture via creamy, nutty lees. It’s detailed yet supple, with a succulence thanks to the all-important uplifting acidity.
In the press
96/100 - The 2024 Balnarring Chardonnay is tighter, brighter and more primary than the 2023 tasted alongside. In the mouth, the wine is svelte and textural, and it shows all the sophistication of the site. The elevated malolactic percentage here contributes to the elevated sense of creaminess in the mouth. It's an excellent wine and will be even better in time. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under Diam. Drink 2025-2039

Vinification
Elanto is Australia's largest dense-planted vineyard. The competition resulting from 11,111 vines per hectare contributes to the wine's intensity and complexity. The site is farmed without the use of herbicides. Only the best bunches and berries are picked and sorted by hand, before pressing directly into 225 litre Tronçais oak barrels for fermentation.
