Shibumi Knoll Vineyards - Buena Terra Chardonnay 2021 (750ml) Upper Goulburn

Shibumi Knoll Vineyards - Buena Terra Chardonnay 2021 (750ml) Upper Goulburn100% Chardonnay aged 14 months in 30% new French oak. Review: Stone fruits, buttered citrus, white flowers, and a subtle hint of green almonds all emerge from the 2021 Chardonnay Buena Tierra Vineyard, a medium to full bodied, ripe, yet elegant Chardonnay. I love its overall balance, and it brings an impressive mix of richness and elegance. Jeb Dunnuck, 96 points

This easy-going

with notes of savory dried grass and a kick of ground ginger adding pleasing spiciness

these vineyards never produce more than seven tons per hectare

and a subtle hint of earth

There's a licorice and peppery lift that remains through the lingering finish

pepper herbs

pressed and  settled before being moved into barrels

black tea and tobacco—all layered over soft

A nose of lemon zest is followed by a lively palate of lemon curd

Lussac-Saint-Emilion is the most northerly of the four 'satellites' within the larger Saint-Emilion appellation in the 'right bank' Libournais district of Bordeaux

and spices which provide a long delightful finish
