Delamere Block 3 Chardonnay 2023

$120.00

Punchy and ripe, with a powerful expression of yellow peach, nectarine and baked apple backed by buttery oak and creamy, nutty and nougat-like yeast influences, this sumptuous, succulent chardonnay makes a confident statement about how quality chardonnay could and can be in Australia – full of flavour, richness, charm and balance. It’s long, unctuous, persistent and memorable.

Winery

Shane Holloway and Fran Austin are a young couple who have turned up in Northern Tasmania from the Adelaide Hills and Kalgoorlie (WA) respectively. Their combined experience and the track record they have already assembled at Delamere suggests that this will be a label worth watching, potential already realised from the 2012 vintage onwards. While the non-vintage sparkling wines are well worthy of attention, I have a very soft spot for the very stylish and savoury vintage Blanc de Blanc, even if the 2012 edition was perhaps a little heavily worked for its depth of fruit and forward nature.
