ToolangiVineyards Pauls Lane Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2012
About this product
Toolangi Vineyards Pauls Lane Yarra Valley Chardonnay is a delicious chardonnay release from Toolangi in the Yarra Valley. The fruit is from Dixon's Creek and the wine made by highly regarded winemaker, David Bicknell, at Oakridge. This may be the best release yet I have tasted of a Toolangi chardonnay. It has aromatics of struck match, cashew and minerals. The palate has fresh and racy acidity, with good length and balance.

Hand-picked from estate vineyards, made at Oakridge, barrel-fermented and aged in French oak for 11 months. Here the flinty reduction of the bouquet is more obvious than the standard version, but still well within bounds so far as I am concerned. Greater concentration and intensity of the fruit is very obvious; from this perspective, a prime example of the importance of terroir. Will live for an inordinately long time.
