A vivacious crowd-pleaser

very typical for a 1985 though it is less intense nowadays

so this note should be quite representative of the final commercial release

Provided that you have the patience to cellar this for at least 6 to 8 years this is worth considering

This is quite ripe yet very fresh with its less aromatically refined and pungent nose of earth

Ferren, Chardonnay Frei Road other_regions_australia A vivacious crowd-pleaserThe 2021 Chardonnay Frei Road Vineyard opens with wafts of matchstick that give way to citrus peel, almonds, gravel dust and crme frache aromas. The light bodied palate is driven by firm, linear acidity. It's packed to the brim with citrusy flavors, and it has a long mineral driven finish. Reminiscent of Chablis, this shimmery Chardonnay will be long lived in the cellar.
