The Chardonnay Thread

[Coz]

Anyone have any idea what this Langton's Confidential Chardonnay would be?
LANGTON'S Confidential LXXII Chardonnay 6PK, Yarra Valley 2018

I believe its the Soumah Equilibrio Hexham Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

2019 Equilibrio Chardonnay - Soumah Wines

soumah.com.au

The Stuart Knox points match and the price works from a 37% off perspective.

Also note: "Some would call it Reserve but we call it Equilibrio as great wine is all about harmony and balance."

The Tiers vineyard turns 40. Here is a whole lotta Chardonnay to celebrate

I’m in cleanup mode at the moment, sifting through the (physical) sample pile and my (digital) notes to tidy things up Kondo-style. While it’s cathartic to delete some half-baked stories written late at night, I’ve discovered some unpublished gems too […]

Ageing Chardonnay - Young Gun of Wine

Not so long ago, it was deemed a short-term cellaring prospect, but Australian chardonnay today is anything but, with recognition that the best examples age gracefully for many years. We followed Michael Downer of Murdoch Hill in the Adelaide Hills for a day, to make a video that offers a...

Chardonnay on the edge

Peter Dredge is a quietly spoken man, who doesn’t usually rant. But he’s currently having a bit of a moment, obsessing about oak in chardonnay. #ArmadaleCellars #BestCellars

I don't mind Wolf Blass yellow Label as a cheap quaffer - buy a single bottle locally to see if it is agreeable to you then it is available in 6's on CD.co for $9 ('16) and $10 ('19) or similar at DM after discounts if you have one close by.

Usually available under for under $20 - I like the Devil's Corner

I have tried Lakeside Chardonnay (now under Becs Hardy previously under under Geoff Hardy). Rrp17 but currently on sale for less than $7 free delivery too.
It's light and easy to drink. Not heavy.
They also have multipacks 1 of each bottle. So you can try the other variety too.
