Crawford River 'Reserve' Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 Chardonnay

Crawford River 'Reserve' Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 ChardonnayThis wine is young and fresh, while at the same time, brooding, structured and complex. Currants, both red and black are there at the outset, together with allspice, dark chocolate and a spiced perfume. The medium weight palate is framed by the fine, chalky tannins, which linger and define. It opens to black olive, blackcurrant and black strap molasses, with the powdery tannins and natural acidity drawing the wine to a persistent finish.

Very expressive aromas in this 2021 vintage due to the wine being left on gross lees for longer than previously

it makes wine like Chablis and indeed is surrounded by AOC Chablis vines
