Rodda Smith's Vineyard Beechworth Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdrian Rodda has a real knack for Beechworth Chardonnay, and the Smith Vineyard is the heart of it all. This site sits at 550 metres on granitic soils, which always gives the fruit a serious backbone. While he makes a few different expressions of Chardy, this has evolved into Adrian’s flagship wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sat down to taste through the new lineup last week and the whole set of 2024's legitimately blew us away. It was a fantastic vintage in Beechworth, and you can really feel that extra level of power and concentration in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a bit of a sleeper at first, so give it some air to move. It starts with hints of flint, nutmeg, and fennel before opening up into white nectarine and citrus peel.  The palate has heaps of stuffing but stays incredibly poised. You get that lovely mealy, nutty complexity through the middle, held together by a fresh, citrusy drive. The persistence and length is super impressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is world-class Chardonnay that shows exactly why Adrian is at the top of his game right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a brilliant chardonnay that delivers its greatness with ease and calm\"\u003cbr\u003e- Gabrielle Poy (The Real Review)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"A.
