Kirkton Estate Agnes Chardonnay 750ml

Kirkton Estate Agnes Chardonnay is a premium Chardonnay from the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. It's considered a reserve selection from Kirkton Estate, highlighting the best of their Chardonnay production. Tasting Note: Nose: Expect a richly aromatic nose with intense notes of butterscotch and peaches 'n cream, often accompanied by citrus blossom and grapefruit. There's typically a noticeable and high-quality buttery, nutty oak influence. Palate: The palate is full-figured and concentrated, mirroring the nose with flavours of ripe stone fruit and honeyed characteristics. A balanced and mouth-watering acidity provides structure and prevents it from being too heavy. Layers of complexity unfold, often showing a harmonious integration of fruit and oak. Finish: The finish is typically long and satisfying, with a continuation of the rich fruit and buttery notes, sometimes with a refreshing minerality. It's a Chardonnay that aims for complexity and structure, often with good aging potential. Note: Kirkton Estate has a significant history in the Hunter Valley, being the first vineyard established in the region by John Busby in 1830. The "Agnes" Chardonnay is often sourced from low-yielding vines and aged in high-quality French oak to produce a wine of complexity and structure.
