Kooyong Chardonnay 2007
|

|
Pale straw with hints of gold. There is creamy, nutty complexity on the nose. The palate shows real class, balance and intensity. Quite open and expressive, there is an opulence that reflects the warm year, but the balance is terrific. White peach, floral, orange peel, hazelnuts, cashews, and some mouth-coating richness. The intensity builds through the palate, which is reined in on the finish by the tight acid structure.
The 2007 vintage was one of the earliest on record. The vintage was similar to 2006, but with lower yields. Overall it was a good vintage, resulting in well structured wines.
Kooyong is located on the Mornington Peninsula at Tuerong and focuses on producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wine; which are both suited to the Peninsula’s cool maritime climate. Kooyong is a ‘domain’ in the true sense of the word and the wines are made from 100% estate grown fruit at its own on-site winery.
93 points - "Restrained grilled nuts, nectarines and a hint of spice from the oak; the palate is fine and poised, with lively, tangy acidity drawing the wine out to a long and even conclusion." - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010.
