Cooks Lot Handpicked Chardonnay 2013
Handpicked, whole bunch, free run juice. Barrel fermented, partial solids and wild yeast. Some good inputs there, deliberate choices from winemaker Duncan Cook, pursuing a style.
Shows the barrel ferment character floating over citrus - mandarin segments even - with some vanilla creme.
Good old fashioned Chardonnay: butter, spice, lime brulee even; balanced - nice inputs of fruit, acid and residual oak here. Spice dominant. Good going. 91
Tasted on: Saturday 7th March, a Fruit transitioning to Root day
