{"product_id":"2024-willem-kurt-beechworth-chardonnay","title":"2024 Willem Kurt Beechworth Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeechworth has earned a reputation for some pretty serious, powerful Chardonnay over the last decade. But Daniel Balzer is taking a slightly different approach at Willem Kurt. Working from his off-grid winery just south of town, he’s focused on transparency rather than brute force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 vintage was an exceptionally cool one, which really suits the style here. Daniel has reined in the power a little, aiming for length and intensity without leaning too hard on the oak. It’s naturally fermented and bottled without fining or filtration, so nothing is stripped away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it packs plenty of citrus and stone fruit flavour, balanced by a nice creamy richness. It feels modern and fresh without sacrificing that classic Beechworth depth. Honestly, given the price tags usually attached to this region, this is easily one of the best-value wines coming out of Beechworth right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Willem Kurt Wines is one of Beechworth's quiet stars on the rise, and deserves better recognition for its pristine beauty of a chardonnay...
