Giaconda Wines Chardonnay Estate Vineyard 2011

Honeyed nectarine and dried flowers emerge from thirteen years in bottle, the barrel influence now fully absorbed into the wine's fabric. Sweet fruit concentration meets toasted hazelnut and butterscotch on the palate, the texture creamy yet held taut by precise acidity. That chalky Beechworth minerality runs through the long finish. Still vibrant, with another decade ahead.
