2018 Sinapius Single Vineyard Close Planted Chardonnay
Eight clones, hand-picked, wholebunch pressed, wild fermentation and mlf, matured in French oak (25% new), and a small portion
(5%) in tank, the blend given a further 6 months in tank pre bottling. An extremely powerful wine with structure ex the fruit, not oak. The length of the palate and aftertaste is striking. 95 points, drink to 2033, 13% alc, screwcap, $55; tasted 30.1.2020
