Gentle Folk Ashton Chardonnay 2023
The sixth release from the 0.8 ha block in Ashton where the northerly aspect and deep clay soils result in a wine with boldness and texture. It's not just about the bold flavours though, there is a beautiful stone fruit character and a great acid line from a very cool growing season.
Whole bunches were crushed and pressed to tank for settling overnight before racking off heavy solids to barrel. The wine spent 11 months in French and Austrian oak, 20% new, before racking to tank for three months and bottled.
Production: 932 bottles
"A rich, delicious wine. Délice liberally spread on honey toast. Walnut and spiced quince with some bacon fat, too. The gravity and weight of its fruit – white nectarine, candied melon and waxy lime – ensures a slow and low sashay across the palate. Muslin-like phenolic grip and vibrant lemony sorbet stitch seams over and through, leaving the recipient with little patience between sips."
- 95 points Katrina Butler (Halliday Wine Companion)
