This is the debut release of this wine for the Gentle Folk portfolio from the Somerset vineyard (arguably the most picturesque site in the region), deep in the Basket Range. This is such glorious chardonnay. There's an emphasis on stone fruit, peaches and loquats, with salted lime, crystalline acidity and toasted nuts, impactful drive and compelling mouthfeel. A producer not to be underestimated or overlooked.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gentle Folk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44537258410120,"sku":"DYN1424","price":69.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/5694\/4264\/files\/GentleFolkBasketRangeChardonnay_50b9812c-372d-4b7b-a713-85cd7a9352f6.png?v=1790315446"},{"product_id":"timo-mayer-chardonnay-yarra-valley-2025","title":"Timo Mayer Chardonnay Yarra Valley 2025","description":"\u003cp id=\"tastingNote\" class=\"o-p c-tasting__description-main-blurb\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95+ Points, Halliday Wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Replanted on rootstock in '21, this is the first Mayer chardonnay from estate fruit since then.

From vines planted in '85 on red ferrosol soils. Indigenous yeast ferment, 50% mlf, matured for 11 months in 20% new oak and an additional seven months on lees in stainless steel tanks. The wine opens with crumbly bedrock, marigold and banksia. Its mineral core sweeps through with riverstone and licks of lemon salt. Citron is a constant thread throughout, with undulating waves of acidity and phenolic pomelo pith to finish. Power and drive now, but a bit more time in the bottle, and this will continue to unfurl. Another joyous wine from Canobolas.
