The project of winemaker Scott Ireland, Provenance Wines set out to make great wines that reveal the fruit quality of special vineyards. Based in the Geelong region, Ireland works with select vineyard sites west and south of Melbourne, to deliver an impressive range of wines.
Made from grapes sourced throughout the cool-climate premium regions of Ballarat, Henty and Geelong, the 2021 Provenance Golden Plains Chardonnay is a classy example with lovely aromas of white flower, stonefruit and subtle cashew. The palate is well weighted and lively, with layers of intense fruit balanced by vibrant acidity, with a well rounded mouthfeel and chalky texture rounding out a beautifully balanced wine.
"94 Points. Fruit from Ballarat, Henty and Geelong. This is pretty swish. Nougat, lime, yellow peach and pineapple flavours mingle with honeysuckle and custard powder-like notes. It's fresh, flavoursome and direct at once, boasting quite serious length through the finish. 12.8% alc. $35. Drink: 2024 - 2030. Screwcap"- Campbell Mattinson, winecompanion.com.au.
