2022 Bobar Chardonnay
Varietal: Chardonnay
Region: Yarra Valley, VIC
Winemakers: Sally + Tom Belford
This delicious Chardonnay is full of personality – a party on the nose and the palate with Danish pastries, biscuit dough and brown sugar leaping out of the glass. Crisp and lean on the palate with a delicate and creamy mouthfeel. Thanks to whole bunch pressing, clever blending techniques and maturation in a variety of oak vessels, there’s so much complexity to this wine but it all hangs together in perfect balance. We’ll be drinking this with Sunday lunch – roast chicken, rich cheeses, anything 'truffley'. A unique treat for the Chardonnay lover who’s “tried it all”.
Bobar’s mature Chardonnay vines are located at the foot of the steep slopes of the Christmas Hills escarpment on the Western side of the Yarra Valley, in Yarra Glen. This plot benefits from full exposure to the east, protection from extreme summer heat and rich grey loam soils producing consistently excellent wines of impressive complexity.
