Gentle Folk Piccadilly Chardonnay 2021

The grapes come from Udy's RD vineyard in the heart of Piccadilly where the wines are renowned for their power and flair. It's 1.4 hectares of Chardonnay vines planted in 1983. They enjoy west exposure on 525 meters above the sea level growing on quartz rubble over siltstone, sandstone and clay.

Whole bunches crushed and pressed to tank for settling overnight before racking off solids to barrel. The wine spent eleven months in French and Austrian oak, 20% new. Bottled under DIAM cork, sealed with wax.

What a delicious Chardonnay in the old-world style. Brioche, butter, stone fruits and pebbles. Sophisticated and well-balanced. The oak is well-integrated. Long and voluminous aftertaste with a refreshing mineral touch.

Wine #3 on Mixed Bag Vol. 7 event.
