SentioBeechworth Chardonnay
About this product
Chris Catlow of Sentio Wines has great skill in making Chardonnay, having spent five vintages with Benjamin Leroux in Burgundy and seven on the Mornington Peninsula. Sourced from the famed Stuart Smith vineyard, Chris allows the fruit to express itself without overbearing winemaking. Stone fruit, honeysuckle, white flowers and a touch of spice. All the intensity one expects from Beechworth Chardonnay with great precision and purity.

In a heartbeat. I would drink this. And buy this. It’s a wine of understated flavour, high texture, satisfaction and finesse. It builds as it progresses through the palate. Like a train, surging. It’s all stone fruit and nut, a hint of vanilla, cool tones but flesh. You can tell it’s been in oak, it has that woody afterwards. That woody afterwards; I had to type it again. Beechworth is a pretty harsh place. Hot, cold and rocky. Vines don’t thrive there, they resist. No wonder Kelly made a stand there. Upright power; that’s what this wine has.
