Ten Minutes By TractorWallis Chardonnay
About this product
This Chardonnay from Wallis seems to walk the tightrope between weight and delicacy the best. It’s the Goldilocks Chardonnay, sitting in between the never ending power of McCutcheon or the sunny warmth of Judd. A particular feature of this wine is how the extra acidity gives it an almost understated power – a slow build of mealy weight, counterpointed by acidity heading more towards grapefruit than pure citrus. A wine of latent power, and with a shape that suggests it will be long lived.

This borders into tart territory. The fruit is ripe but the acidity was into challenging territory. It will require patience or a preference for high acid-style chardonnay, or both. Which is to to in any way dismiss it; you’d reckon it has a good future ahead. Lactose, lemon curd, meal and tart grapefruit/fennel characters. Excellent length. Mouthfeel is just starting to form, but has a fair way to go. Drink 2019-2014+
