The 2021 Chardonnay leads with a nutty, spicy nose, loads of savory curry leaf, a nice flinty reduction and crushed nuts. It's a brilliant wine with lovely flow. Superb. A mix of Mendoza clone and 95, it was pressed to barrel with 100% solids. This was tasted with Kevin Judd at Greywacke in September 2023. Sealed under screw cap.

A lovely whiff of smoke and litsea oil adds complexity to the core of grilled Meyer lemon, pineapple, green cardamom and candied ginger flavors, with fresh, vibrant acidity. Drink now. 150 cases imported.

In typical Greywacke style, this is an intensely reductive Chardonnay with heady aromas of struck match, roasted cashew, grilled citrus and seashell. The palate is more poised and fruit-forward than the nose suggests, while still being toasty, concentrated and intense, with textural weight and lovely acidity to the harmonious finish. Drink now-2031.

The 2021 Chardonnay from Greywacke is made in a punchy style. Intense and concentrated due to tiny yields. Richly toasted oak (Mercurey barrels in case you were interested) lends a smoky bacon and flinty overcoat to this wine's white stone and citrus fruit. It's not unattractive, but it's certainly a stylistic interpretation of the variety and won't be everyone's cup of tea.
