Deen Vat 7 Chardonnay, De Bortoli Vintage:2022

Deen Vat 7 Chardonnay, De Bortoli Vintage:2022Light to medium straw in colour. Complex white peach, grilled nuts & citrus aromas. Textural, creamy palate with a fine acid finish. Drought, fire and flood, followed by plague. The 2020 vintage threw everything at us, fortunately the smoke did not reach the Riverina and impact the fruit. The drought again impacted us with a dry winter and early spring. Thus resulting in some restriction of growth and yield. Leading to good quality disease free fruit.
