Kooyong Farrago Chardonnay 2021
Description
Description
This single-block wine is sourced from just 0.7 ha of 20-year-old gently sloping Chardonnay vines within the 2.76 ha Farrago block. The mottled appearance of the clay soil in the Farrago block is caused by a high percentage of ironstone pebbles, much like the Ferrous vineyard. This siliceous influence helps infuse the resulting wines with linearity and minerality.
The grapes were gently whole-bunch pressed directly into French oak barriques (of which 15% were new), where fermentation occurred spontaneously with ambient yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine was aged on lees (without battonage) for 11 months, with the only racking occurring directly prior to bottling. The wine was bottled without fining and with minimal filtration.
The 2018 Farrago opens to a bright bouquet of yellow grapefruit, tangerine and fresh-cut pineapple, complemented by a hint of flint and crushed biscuit. With time, slightly more exotic notes of fenugreek and pearl barley are revealed.
The palate is powerful and intense while displaying great clarity and charm. Zesty acid drives the wine, with red grapefruit and lemon peel flavours dominating. Succulence on the long and broadening finale is capped off with ginger spice, oats and orange pith flavours. This wine will greatly reward time in the cellar.
