Irrewarra Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

"Aged in 1/3 new,. 1/3 one-year-old and 1/3 two-year-old oak. The nose shows high-toned lemon zest and fresh pineapple over notes of oatmeal, cinnamon and a notable earthy aspect. The palate is focused and direct; pretty tight with limey acidity and flinty mineral feel leading into a long, citrus-pith finish with a saline tang. As it breathes and warms up a touch, more breadth and depth emerge, as well as a white stone fruit note. Abundant class; there's real zip and line to this wine, which will serve that emerging complexity and weight a treat with a little more time." - Ed Merrison, CellarHand

And yes, it is the same Irrewarra family that produce the wonderful Irrewarra Sourdough, but the vineyard managment & winemaking is handled by the very talented Nick Farr.
