Giaconda Wines Chardonnay Estate Vineyard 2014

White
Beechworth, Australia
9.0

Tightly coiled and mineral-driven, with lemon pith, wet stone and hazelnut emerging slowly. The texture is all sinew and tension, built for the long haul rather than immediate gratification. Shows the hallmark Beechworth restraint. Everything pulled taut, nothing wasted. Give it time.
