2021 A. Rodda Smith's Vineyard Chardonnay




WINEMAKER: Adrian Rodda
REGION: Beechworth, VIC
VARIETAL: Chardonnay
VITICULTURE: Sustainable
The Smiths Vineyard was planted in 1978 at an elevation of 550 metres above sea level at the cross-over between the two soil types that define the Beechworth region; the shaley red Ordovician soil and the granitic soil.
Intense aromas of ripe white stone fruit and citrus pith are complexed with grilled almonds and ginger spice. The seamless amalgam of lees, natural acidity and chalky phenolics creates a mouthfeel that is full and creamy yet long, intense and savoury.
