Yarra Yering Carrodus Chardonnay 2021 is an elegant and tightly focused expression of cool-climate Chardonnay, crafted with precision and restraint. The nose is subtle yet complex, revealing notes of white peach, citrus blossom, and struck flint, with hints of almond meal and fine oak. On the palate, it is finely textured and mineral-driven, offering layers of grapefruit, lemon curd, and nectarine, supported by a refined acid line and beautifully judged oak integration. The wine finishes long and savoury, with a chalky edge and lingering freshness. This is a poised, age-worthy Chardonnay that reflects both vineyard site and winemaking finesse in equal measure.
