Description

Chris Catlow sources fruit from all across Beechworth for this lovely Chardonnay.

There's bright acidity and tension throughout the palate and finish, and though it is on the fuller-bodied side it feels bouncy and fresh, with the fruit profile being mostly citrus/ grapefruit.

Unfined and unfiltered, and unfortunately quite limited. Sentio is turning into one of Australia's best Chardonnay producers.

92 Points - "I'm hard pressed to think of any region in the world with more intensity of flavor to its chardonnay than the sub-alpine, granitic screes of Beechworth. Peach syrup, cardamon pod, ginger candy and rice pudding, enveloped by a gentle cuddle of oak and underlined by a pungent mineral underbelly. This is merely the mid-weighted opening act, looser knit and ready to please. An intro to the more stunning tiers above. Drink or hold." - Ned Goodwin MW (James Suckling)

Fruit sourced from multiple vineyards across Beechworth, allowing the diversity of the various soil profiles and varying altitudes to come through.

This is a hallmark Beechworth chardonnay, showing marked intensity and structure. It’s easy to understand, easy to enjoy. You might say it’s what people expect from a Beechworth chardonnay.

Raised mostly in barrique (small- format, French-oak barrels), some new. This wine is ready to enjoy now. Bottled under DIAM closure.
