Located on the Mornington Peninsula, Kooyong is a specialist Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producer; their Clonale Chardonnay consistently delivers one of the region's best value examples.
Made from a blend of Chardonnay from Kooyong's estate Tuerong and Balnarring vineyards, the 2024 Kooyong Clonale Chardonnay opens with aromatic purity, showing lime, nectarine and green plum aromas, intertwined with hints of nougat and rolled oats. The wine moves across the palate effortlessly, with soft orchard fruit flavours on the mid-palate. This is backed by delicate lemon and grapefruit acidity that pulls the palate long and taut, with subtle oak support. Another high quality, great value Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay from the team at Kooyong.
"Peach, melon, mint, vanilla, a sour yoghourt thing. Nutty, tangy, lemon and grapefruit, a bit spicy, some chalky grip, with a lively and sappy finish of excellent length. Lovely wine. Plenty of energy and drinks so well. Touch and go for 94 points. Rated: 93 Points Tasted: May25 13% alc. $38 Screwcap Drink: 2025 - 2030+"- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
