Kooyong 'Farrago' Chardonnay 2019

This single-block wine is sourced from just 0.7 ha of 21-year-old gently sloping Chardonnay vines within the 2.76 ha Farrago block. The mottled appearance of the clay soil in the Farrago block is caused by a high percentage of ironstone pebbles, much like the Ferrous vineyard. This siliceous influence helps infuse the resulting wines with linearity and minerality.

"It's a little shy at first, then gains confidence, delivering white peach and grapefruit, spiced up with ginger and a fleck of fresh herbs. The palate has depth and generosity, with the oak flavouring an interplay. Yet fine acidity keeps it tight, as moreish sulphides kick in, adding a savoury edge and a lingering finish." 95 points, Jane Faulkner"
