Vignerons Schmolzer and Brown 'Brunnen' Chardonnay 2022

The Brunnen vineyard is located just across the road from their own farm just south in Beechworth, in Stanley. Farmed organically and without irrigation, this high elevation site producers Pinot and Chardonnay of serious distinction. 5 barrels produced, 1 barrel new French oak. 

Bright pale straw. An initially shy yet complex nose melding yellow grapefruit, crushed shells and almond meal, with an overarching and delicately perfumed arbor of white florals.

The citrus zesty and minerally palate shows plenty of energy, with a light balancing of fresh cream to length. Think unripe peach and apricot, crunchy stonefruit flesh, their skins and kernels, building into yellow citrus on the palate.
