Chardonnay 2021 – Black Market Deal #41107
- Textural
- Adelaide Hills
Established in 2007, think of this producer as the cool new kids on the block. From the artsy, minimalistic exterior of their wines to the delicious, handmade, minimal-intervention juice inside, these wines are just plain stylish. Crafted in small-batches as they use only the most premium quality grapes, fruit for this particular Chardonnay is sourced from the fantastic Woodside vineyard in Adelaide Hills. Balanced, bright and creamy, this lovely drop is a tropical fruit bowl packed to the rim with melon, mango, peach and grapefruit. There’s a pillowy softness to the palate and a lively acid line which drives its long finish.

Region
Adelaide Hills
Don't kid yourselves, the Adelaide Hills are bigger and much more diverse than they seem. It stretches over 80km from the Barossa Valley in the North to McLaren Vale in the South. The area is so variable that small pockets such as Piccadilly and Longwood can only ripen marginal such as Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, whereas other specific areas are perfect for peppery Shiraz and ballsy Cabernet. A healthy mix of experienced hands and young hipsters ensure the region stays at the cutting edge of the industry. Natural wines, and new European varieties including Nebbiolo and Gruner Veltliner are some of the more recent highlights to keep an eye out for.
