Pike and Joyce The Kay Reserve Chardonnay
Adelaide Hills
Price Range at Release: $50-$99
Vintage: 2021
Alc %: 12.5
$ Rel: 65
An unctuous, creamy and fatty chardonnay that slowly unfolds its smoky, briny and mineral aromas of grapefruit, white peach, lemon and custard with underlying suggestions of coriander and oyster shell. It's long, smooth and mineral, with a sumptuous core of fruit and flavour already revealing some considerable complexity. Wonderfully long and savoury, with a briny finish, it does take time to aerate, so please remember this.

Pike and Joyce
This joint venture between Pikes Wines (Clare Valley) and Joyson Orchards (Lenswood) in the Adelaide Hills is responsible for a typically well made and varietally correct collection of elegant cool climate wines. The usually shapely and mineral Chardonnay is usually the flag bearer amongst a fine, pristine collection of white wines, each of which delivers beautiful varietal purity. In particular, the Sauvignon Blanc is a spotless of frequently mineral wine - poles apart from what most Marlborough expressions deliver. The reds are steadily improving, led by some very delicious pinots with pleasing textural and savoury qualities.
