{"product_id":"2024-toolangi-chardonnay","title":"2024 Toolangi Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003eToolangi is becoming one of the Yarra Valley's most essential stops for premium Chardonnay. Established back in 1995 right on the edge of the Toolangi State Forest, this site has always had serious pedigree, and Kaspar is coaxing out its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a brutal run of poor flowering and tiny crops, the 2024 vintage finally gave Yarra growers a break, delivering better yields of incredibly powerful, concentrated fruit. This release pulls from vines averaging 23 years of age, utilising a mix of Gingin, Mendoza, and I10V3 clones that dig deep into fine clay loam soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe uses just 10% new wood in the mix, letting the wine ferment on lees and mature in barrel for nine months before bottling. Nothing complicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a ridiculously drinkable expression of Yarra Chardonnay. It punches way above its weight class, delivering top-tier pedigree at a very fair price. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\" The palate is flavoursome, balanced and gently saline. An excellent version of this affordably priced wine. Drink now and over the next 3–4 years.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Philip Rich (The Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Tasty wine offering a good volume of flavour...
