2019 Preece Yarra Valley Chardonnay

WINE PROFILE

The Preece Wines collection pay homage to the legacy of Mitchelton’s founding winemaker Colin Preece, also known as one of Australia’s masterful blenders. Embracing the fastidious approach and innovative flair that Colin Preece extolled throughout his highly decorated career, the Mitchelton winemakers’ creatively explore Victoria’s rich and diverse viticultural landscape and some of the best patchwork of exciting sub regions in search of highly expressive sites and the finest quality. Handcrafting a collection of fruit-forward varieties, the contemporary Preece wines herald an exciting new era of wine and viticultural exploration from this iconic Victorian winery.

Tasting Note: Bright pale straw with brilliant green hues. The palate unfurls with fresh flavours of stone fruits, rock melon, grapefruit and citrus. An underlying thread of complexity coats the palate from the full use of solids and barrel fermentation, that will continue to come to the fore as the wine ages. The 2019 has a remarkable minerality and is tightly coiled with great density, balance and focused fruit.
