2022 Taturry Mosselini Vineyard Chardonnay

WINEMAKER: Luke Curry
REGION: Mornington Peninsula, VIC
VARIETY: Chardonnay
VITICULTURE: Organic

"[This] is the kind of Australian Chardonnay I like, not trying too much to be like a White Burgundy but showing lovely restraint all the same. Lemon peel, rocks and a faint whiff of vanilla introduce a bracing Chardonnay built on energy and pure, mineral-inflected drive. Crisp fruit and floral notes reappear on the chiselled finish." - Andrew Guard

Luke started working on the Mornington Peninsula in 1999 first among the vines and then, after a wine science degree, he became a winemaker at Red Hill Estate. Since starting out on his own recently, he farms the 4.5 hectare Mosselini Vineyard in Merricks North which is nearly 20 years old and is planted to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah. In the past few years he has been farming the 2 ha Applewood vineyard out at Main Ridge too.
