Felton Road ‘Block 2’ Chardonnay
2008 (18.5+/20), at
13.5% alc, was all Mendoza
clone, barrel fermented and matured 12 months in 12% new oak. Pale straw in colour, this was tight and
backward in expression, but the purity and clarity stood out. The palate was very powerful, concentrated
and brooding, very much a white burgundy style, that will need another 2-3
years before its true potential will be realised. RC/SD Oct 09
Pink grapefruit, subtle oak and mineral characters introduce this
serious styled Chardonnay. The mouthfeel expresses careful restraint,
balance and a nervous energy. An expressive and pure wine of
minerality, intensity and length.
