Gaffy & Neal Chardonnay 2021
$45.00
A long, complete and mouthfilling chardonnay whose bright aromas of stonefruit, grapefruit and yellow flowers are backed by nuances of mineral, charcuterie, cinnamon and ginger. Medium to fullish in weight, with a creaminess and underlying nutty aspect, its intense core of stonefruit and citrus flavour extends with genuine complexity and a buttery hint of malolactic influence towards a finely balanced finish shaped by a vivacious acidity.

Winery
Gaffy and Neal
Garry & Neal is the joint venture between Darrin Gaffy of the Red Hill-based Principia winery and Doug Neal, who has learned much of what he knows about chardonnay while completing virtually every vintage at Giaconda. It's a chardonnay-only label, featuring a Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay whose sourcing varies between a number of sites in different Peninsula sub-regions as well as the Merricks North Chardonnay, sourced from a small individual vineyard. Both wines deliver handsomely in a market whose competition is becoming steadily more expensive but less reliable. This is a remarkable small brand, and we're proud to feature it at Oliver's Wines.
