2021 Granjoux Chardonnay
The 2021 Beechworth Chardonnay presents as lemon-yellow in colour in the glass with elegance from the outset. An intense but balanced nose with melon and warm cashew notes lifting from the glass. Integrated natural acidity allows for a multi-layering of citrus; ripe grapefruit, lemon, lime, and kiwi fruit. As it opens, there is a great richness to the wine: honeysuckle oils, ripe peach and orange blossom – a very lush, and exquisitely complex wine, that has been built to develop over many years.
This is a wine of precision. The palate weight and textured mouthfeel – adding further complexity. A remarkable wine, with soft, fine tannins that extends the length of the wine.
Grown on Devonian decomposed granite sands the vines are close-planted on stakes inside a dry-stone Clos. With only 21 rows dedicated to Chardonnay we were limited to only 90 dozen bottles of this wine, making the 2021 Beechworth Granjoux Chardonnay a rare wine.
“The wine in the glass here is a revelation. It is stunning.”
