Two Mile Chardonnay, 2022

Peachy and full in the mouth but finishes salty and tight, like a sea breeze through a rich Chardonnay. Grown by a family who have farmed the Ballarat highlands since 1983.

A Chardonnay from a young hillside vineyard of red volcanic soil near Ballarat, farmed and made by the Latta family of Eastern Peake. It is generous in the mouth, with peach, nougat and hazelnut, then turns salty and bright with an oyster-shell, sea-spray edge and a firm, fresh finish. Made with wild yeast in large old-style barrels and bottled without fining or filtering.
