Chardonnay 2019 – Black Market Deal #39153
- Textural
- Mornington Peninsula
This is very soft, rounded and alluring Peninsula chardy, with quite a subtle nose of melon, snow pea, pineapple and peppered, buttered white asparagus. While the nose seems to keep a card up its sleeve, the palate is contrastingly rich, with guava and red apple hitting the mix. It’s a bigger style of chardonnay with a somewhat chalky, roasted cashew savouriness rounding out the semi-dried tropical fruits on the palate. A really interesting wine. I can’t tell you much about the winemaking techniques, but I can assure you that it’ll be as much a talking piece of the table as it is a drinking piece.

What is a Black Market deal?
Black Market deals are only made possible if we don’t reveal the maker’s brand on site. The wines are the genuine article – absolutely no cleanskins or fake brands, just dangerously good value. You won’t find out what it is until it hits your doorstep, but you won’t regret it. Just keep it on the down low.
It’s cool, we get it, you want to know absolutely everything about this wine. Well here you go, go nuts.

Region
Mornington Peninsula
The Mornington Peninsula is one of those places you dream of retiring - once you've made a cool $10m to get you into the Red Hill club. The sublime mix of temperate climate, expansive views, lush hills and pristine beaches is something not many would turn their nose up at. You can rest assured that every winery here has all the money they need, and although the wines may be relatively expensive, they're made as close to idealistic aspirations as possible. It's hard to find a bad wine. The usual cool climate suspects are the mainstay here (Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling) and they range from ethereal to weighty. Whichever end of the spectrum, they're all class.
