2020 Juniper ‘Cornerstone’ Wilyabrup Chardonnay 750ml

Youthful and green in the glass. Really enticing aromas of just-ripe white peach, grapefruit, nuts, arum lily, green melon and a whiff of struck-flint. There’s plenty of weight and texture on the palate, but there’s a lightness and brightness to it as well. Stone fruit and citrus flavours are the main drive, there’s also melon, nuts, mineral and talc. There’s a fair whack of complexity, generosity and deliciousness here. Really smart gear Drink: 2022 2029

75% Clone 95, the balance Gingin. Wild ferment in French oak (45% new). No mlf, matured for 9 months. The nose here is far more citrusy than it is peachy, with layers of brine, graphite, green apple and licks of guava. On the palate it follows in this racy manner.It is restrained, long and very tart (in a scintillating and refreshing kind of way). The warmer year, a high-acid clone and the lack of mlf come together to achieve balance, interest, austerity and class. Drink by 2031
