Swinging Bridge Hill Park Block 7 Chardonnay 2021 (75cl, 12.8%)

A medium-bodied oaked white wine from Orange, Australia, made from Chardonnay grown in Block 7 of the Hill Park Vineyard. The block is one of the last sites to ripen in Orange, with east-west vine rows on a south-facing slope and three soil types managed separately; the fruit comes from the V1 clone. The wine shows cool-climate acidity with delicate aromas of lemon, nectarine, white peach and almond, building through almond meal, nougat and grilled cashews. It is best not over-chilled.
