2020 Estate Chardonnay | 1.5L Magnum

Score: 94

This is a unique offering from Dobbin that is taken from one barrel of the estate’s Charlene Vineyard. It was wild fermented and aged on its lees in second fill French oak for 18 months. The nose is rich, elegant and concentrated with lovely perfume, ripe pear, baked apple, saline/chalky minerality, lemon tart, creamy/toasty notes and spice box. It has an elegant creamy texture on the palate with concentrated stone fruits, bergamot, stony minerality, toasted almonds, spice, fresh saline and finesse through a lifted and long finish. Contemplative Chardonnay that will impress further with another 5 to 7 years in the cellar.

We are very excited to offer our single barrel reserve Chardonnay Magnum from our old vine Charlene Vineyard.  This magnum format offers the ability to be aged easily for 10+ years but is balanced enough to be enjoyed now if you can’t resist the temptation.
