In that, more ‘classic Beechworth’ in its way, but geez, it is a belter from any angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMB:\u003c\/strong\u003e Succulent, quietly powerful, green apple, just-ripe nectarine, a touch of ginger, some green almond, licks of nougat and a faint saline mineral edge in there too. Beautiful, gently floral perfume with the rest of those characters I wrote before. The palate a swish and swizzle of pretty fruit, savoury elements, cool, high toned acidity, a faint rose water character, which is interesting, and, like Brunnen, exceptional length and freshness. Phwoar, haven’t VS\u0026amp;B nailed chardonnay in 2021. 95 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGW:\u003c\/strong\u003e White peach, cedar and cinnamon quills, a little mint, chamomile, ginger. It’s light, cool feel to it, some green olive, gentle saline character, a light dusty texture studded with sweet spice and almond, with a fine powdery grip on a finish of excellent length. Calm, fine-boned, and beautifully turned out. It’s some drink. 95 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\nRated : 95 Points\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Tasted : Aug23\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Alcohol : 12.5%\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eClosure : Diam\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Drink : 2023 - 2029+\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ethereal Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43582095884443,"sku":"","price":58.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2548\/4596\/files\/VSBThCh.png?v=1694673500","url":"https:\/\/ethereal-wines.myshopify.com\/products\/2021-schmolzer-brown-thorley-chardonnay","provider":"Ethereal Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
