Review Detail
2019 Oakridge Local Vineyard Series Henk Chardonnay
(Updated: May 25, 2021)
Wine Rating
97
The masters of Chardonnay are at it again, Henk is fast becoming one of the icons of the Yarra Valley.
As always the interplay between fruit and winemaker influence is a compelling back and forth with white peach, taut nectarine and grapefruit meeting struck flint and almond meal on the nose.
The palate has generous stone fruits set against a backdrop of citrus and restrained grapefruit, a weave of spice and mealy richness builds before green apple and peach give contrast. The finish has a flint like impact to lemon edged white peach, the length is excellent.
An Australian Chardonnay of the highest order.
