Western Australia’s Forest Hill, renowned for their consistent presentation of boutique wines with strong regional characters, say their Great Southern Block 8 Chardonnay is a leaner, tighter style than those found in other WA regions.
A lifted mix of peach, grapefruit, smoked oyster and smoky, peaty oak provides the aromatic introduction to this medium lemon straw coloured wine. The incredibly intense palate has bright layers of citrus, stonefruit and green melon bound within a powerful framework of toasty oak. There's a wonderful vein of umami elegance, notes of grilled nuts and preserved lemon and deluxe oak on the long finish. It’s still youthful with great potential to develop further richness over the next 8-10 years.
