Decades
Chardonnay, 2024
Chardonnay, Coal River Valley
$88
In the glass
Tasmanian Chardonnay made by two Queenslanders who met at wine school in 1991. Lemon and grapefruit, a little creamy, with a flinty snap.
Decades is the project of two old uni mates, both Queenslanders, who bought a 1990-planted vineyard in Tasmania's Coal River Valley. Their 2024 Chardonnay is bright and lively: lemon, grapefruit and white nectarine, a nutty thread and a faint smoky, flinty edge. Fresh acidity keeps it tight, while a gentle creaminess from large old barrels rounds it out. Pure, focused and long.
