Alpine Valleys Chardonnay 2016

There are expensive chardys coming from Beechworth, but not all of them
The quality of the fruit is superb, well over the average of the country
Stylistically they use oak, but thanks to the flesh of the wines it is less prominent than what the classic oaked chardys were
In this case we have a little extraction of colour from the skins.
I like it, it has got a wonderful feel in my mouth
Beechworth is not only Giaconda. That's a good news☺️☺️ — 8 years ago

Delicious mix of Shiraz, Pinot Noir and a dash of Sangiovese. Just so drinkable. — 10 years ago

Great work Jo Marsh. Restrained GT with plenty of spice and punch, great balance with out excessive cloying musk and musty notes. Neat match at home with san choi bao. Bottles are scarce. Catch it if you can. — 11 years ago

Can't say I've had a lot of examples of saperavis (one of the few grapes with colored juice),but this was interesting. Reminded me a lot of the North American Norton varietal, this wine was a bit one-dimensional but had a lot of fruit coupled with an earthy, almost musky undertone. Was significantly better when chilled down a few degrees (say, at cellar temp - this had been on the shelf), as well as when paired with food. — 9 years ago
