Dominique Portet Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2022
Derived from an exclusive location within Upper Yarra, a mere three hundred meters above the valley's expanse, our vineyard benefits from cooler evening temperatures and an extended maturation period. This unique positioning results in exceptional quality.
Our grapes are thoughtfully harvested at an early stage to capture their innate vitality, preserving a distinct citrus-focused flavor profile underscored by hints of lime and stone fruit. Through meticulous lees management and the use of premium French puncheons, we introduce a captivating textural element, culminating in yet another remarkable expression of Chardonnay.
Once again, Portet showcases their unparalleled regional expertise, reaffirming their prominence in the field.

Roast Chicken
Chardonnay with freshness and poise, showing bright fruit, plenty of lime, citrus characters and saline-like minerality. Lees stirring and a good proportion going through malo in French oak added pleasant hazelnut and spice notes. The restrained nature of this vintage would benefit from a bit of time in the cellar to integrate and broaden slightly.
