Gaffy & Neal Chardonnay 2022
$50.00
Stylish and translucently clear, this vivacious young chardonnay flaunts the quality of its pristine fruit. Scented with white peach, nougat and grapefruit backed by creamy, nutty oak with notes of smoke and matchstick, it’s lifted by a note of spice and a whiff of lemon blossom. It’s smooth and fluffy, with a beautifully weighted core of flavoured underpinned by a lick of slate and wrapped in a mouthwatering acidity. Artfully balanced, but fruit-focused.

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.
