Taking top-shelf fruit from cold, high-altitude blocks in Lenswood and Gumeracha, this is a charming Adelaide Hills Chardonnay that marries raw energy with clever, low-fi winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of heavy oak or excess additions, Damon lets the juice ferment in old French oak puncheons before sitting on its lees for ten months, then finishing up in stainless steel. The whole process keeps the fruit feeling alive while giving the wine a lovely, savoury texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt hits the glass with a brilliant, flinty grip and a slight natural haze. You get punchy citrus pith, charred nut skins, and a flickering sea-salt line, all backed by a chewy, textural weight that keeps you coming back for another splash. Fabulous drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93+ points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A bright and prismatic chardonnay with an irresistible lick of nutty lees.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Katrina Butler (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Koerner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44242143969323,"sku":"2024 Koerner The Hills Chardonnay","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2024KoernerTheHillsChardonnay.webp?v=1784872301","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-koerner-the-hills-chardonnay","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
