K1 By Geoff Hardy

Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2023

Story: K1 Chardonnay is styled to accentuate the characters of Kuitpo’s cool growing conditions and terroir. The fruit is gently handled to ensure aromatics are retained, with French oak and partial malolactic fermentation used to enhance the wine’s purity of fruit character.
Vintage: The 2023 vintage was very cool and very even in temperature, so we were able to harvest each variety in its perfect window of premium ripeness for the intended wine styles. This was the third cool year in a row and the fruit flavours across the board were exceptional.
Nose: Enticing aromas of ripe stone fruit and zesty lemon are enriched by hints of fresh coconut, creamy vanilla, and toasted hazelnut.
Palate: A luxurious blend of yellow apple, pie crust, and yellow peach, complemented by almond meal and a touch of warming nutmeg.
Pairing: Enjoy with rotisserie porchetta served alongside roasted root vegetables for a hearty and flavourful pairing.
ellaring: Drink now or to 2031.
