2017 SOUMAH EQUILIBRIO SINGLE VINEYARD YARRA VALLEY CHARDONNAY

RRP $77 / 2029

Fonts of a tiny size running every which way on the large, busy front and back labels allowed me to ascertain the clone is Mendoza. This whinge to one side, the wine does full justice to the excellent vintage, with white peach and grapefruit a familiar but ever-enjoyable repartee between them. 13.1% alc. The concept behind our Equilibrio range is to promote the very best barrels, clones and new oak integration to create a small quantity that will benchmark each vintage potential. Some would call it Reserve, but we call it Equilibrio as, at the end of the day, it is all about harmony and balance. The Mendosa clone creates rich, elegant chardonnay and we selected this for our first Equilibrio. The wine is opulent, generous and composed with good oak integration all wound together with a citrus and nectarine, creamy freshness. Rich and generous.
