Oakridge 864 Single Block Release Yarra Valley Chardonnay Drive Block Funder & Diamond Vineyard
A chardonnay of consummate elegance and grace and yet exactingly high tensile structure, encapsulating the mood of the season in its intricately fine, mineral structure, razor-edged acidity and a finish even longer than its name. Immense complexity of struck flint and charcuterie underline subtle purity of lemon and grapefruit on the bouquet. The palate carries focused gunflint over a taut lemon/grapefruit zest structure, with notes of crunchy white peach and a mineral finesse resembling ground quartz. $63 at Prince.
