90 / 100"A fresh and creamy chardonnay with peaches, apples, pie crust and salted butter on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, lightly buttery and inviting. Drink now. Screw cap."

Tasting Notes
In the mood for some classic Chardonnay that's elegant, flavourful yet delightfully crisp? - try Salentein's Barrel Selection Chardonnay and you won't drink any other! Soft and subtle aromas of citrus, peach, white blossoms and minerals yet a slight buttery texture in the mouth with lovely flavors of green apple, tropical fruit, fresh garden herbs and a drop of vanilla. Imagine having this with some prawn toast or sweet and sour fish? Oooooh, delicious!
The cold climate, vast thermal amplitude and humidity, together with stony soils rich in calcium carbonates and sustainable vineyard management, offer unique conditions to produce Chardonnay grapes of the highest quality. Winemaking with minimal intervention produces an exceptional expression of Chardonnay from this unique vineyard.
