Product Information

Craggy Range Chard Calloux 08

$62.30 750 MLS

Craggy Range ‘Les Beaux Cailloux’ Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay 2008 (19.0+/20), at 14.7% alc, wild yeast fermented and aged in 45% new French oak barriques for 14 months. Pale straw yellow in colour, youthful in appearance, this had a very fine, but concentrated nose of white stonefruits with citrus and mealy elements. Tightly constructed on palate, this was very refined, yet had excellent power and depth. Lovely citrus, mealy, nutty flavours with excellent oak balance, interwoven into the fruit. A touch of alcohol noticeable, but well-checked by steel, crisp acidity. A very long finish completes this classy white burgundy styled wine which should develop well over the next 5-6 years. RC June 10
