Giaconda

Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 2015

At my 2015 Chardonnay Challenge the Giaconda was a consensus 3rd. Easily the most smoky, sulphidic, struck match of the 6 wines. I loved it. On the palate a powerful wine. Opulent. This wine is becoming difficult to source and sells out in a flash upon release. — 2 months ago

@Bob McDonald, I just purchased some of the 2021 vintage. Any thoughts on the vintage? Drink or hold? Thanks in advance.

@Ron R Ron, Huon Hooke gave this 99 points with a drinking window of 2023 to 2037. “Extraordinary palate length and drive”. Huon is a long time creditable reviewer in Australia.

Thanks, @Bob McDonald. I’ve never heard of that guy, but your insights I take to the bank.

Great wine to enjoy with a friend or alone!
Before I opened, refrigerated for 20 minutes and The more I let it breathe the more I enjoyed the wine. The Tempranillo grape used for this wine, made it a wine I would definitely drink again.

Sorrenberg

Chardonnay 2016

Mid yellow in colour. Flinty, minerally with light stone fruit - under ripe peach/nectarine. Restrained, delicate, savoury, beautiful. Just an excellent Chardonnay whichever way you cut it. The labels copying the Burgundian graphics but totally worthy of the contents. Sorrenberg, in Beechworth, is a neighbour of Giaconda - generally recognised as one of the best in Australia. — 9 months ago
