Saddler's Creek WinesAlessandro Reserve Chardonnay
2023 Chardonnay, Hunter Valley, New South Wales
Succulent white peach, with juicy nectarines and a hint of grapefruit, it's rich and elegant, the oak is gentle yet flavoursome and complex.
Description
From the renowned Winmark Vineyard and the unique slopes of the Hollydene Estate, this Chardonnay is an amalgamation of two of the purest expressions of fruit in the Hunter Valley.
Maturation in 100% French oak with gentle batonage delivers brilliant lemon sorbet acid and characters of white nectarine and peach.
This chardonnay has structure to stand the test of time and will continue to develop beautifully in the years to come.
