Grosset Piccadilly Chardonnay 2021

Grosset Wines is an independently owned winery, producing seven highly regarded premium wines each vintage. Remaining small and focused has allowed Grosset to preserve the character and individuality of the wines, developing a significant international profile by producing wines deemed consistently outstanding - benchmarks in their class.

Grosset Wines' philosophy has remained steadfast for over thirty years. The emphasis is on purity of fruit. The estate vineyards, which are ACO certified organic, are hand-tended and each bunch of grapes is harvested at optimum ripeness. The winemaking process is gentle and uncomplicated. With dedication, discipline and the application of knowledge garnered through decades of experience, the result is the finest expression of variety and place.

The 2021 vintage is 100% Chardonnay (multiple clones including 76 and I10V1) grown in the Piccadilly Valley, Adelaide Hills. Barrel fermented exclusively in French oak barriques (40% new) for 10 months; only partial natural malolactic fermentation. No finings used – suitable for vegans and vegetarians

Very light bright yellow hue; discreet cashewnut and lightly toasted almond bouquet; the wine is refined and subtle, the oak barely perceptible, beautifully harmonised. A trace of smoky reduction, ever so subtle. The wine is tautly composed and reserved, discreet, and holding more in reserve for the future. Beautiful wine; great potential. - Huon Hooke, The Real Review, 96 Points
