The Brokenwood Oakey Creek Vineyard Chardonnay from Hunter Valley is an exceptional white wine, distinguished by its alluring color palette of pale yellow adorned with exquisite green tints, signaling a freshness and vibrancy that is characteristic of the finest Chardonnays.
The 2021 Vintage originating from a cooler vintage, this wine's aromatic profile is a refreshing departure from the expected. Instead of the lush tropical tones, one is greeted by the crispness of grapefruit and the lusciousness of stone fruit, a testament to the unique climatic conditions of its year of harvest. These scents are thoughtfully complemented by the fine white cashew nuances derived from its oak maturation, which meld with the complexity of the lees to enrich both the bouquet and the palate.
On the tongue, the Brokenwood Oakey Creek Vineyard Chardonnay reveals a sublime textural experience, where the nuttiness of bran meal interplays with the soft and succulent flavors of stone fruit. This flavor profile is meticulously underpinned by impeccable acidity, striking a balance that is both refreshing and harmonious.
The finish of this wine is as refined as it is persistent, leaving a lasting impression of finesse. It is a wine that not only speaks to the terroir of the Hunter Valley but also to the meticulous winemaking practices that bring out the intrinsic qualities of the Chardonnay grape. With each sip, it promises a journey through the subtle complexities that have been carefully crafted into every bottle.
