Patricia Chardonnay 2022

The fruit for this 2022 vintage was handpicked from our premium vineyards located in the Tamar Valley, whole bunch pressed and barrel fermented. This wine perfectly displays the elements of cool climate Chardonnay with a zesty citrus finesse, mineral notes, and sensational complexity earned from its time maturing in French oak. With the 2022 vintage coming direct from the Brown Family Cellar, this is an exclusive example of a fine Chardonny. Cheers to Patricia.

The 2022 Patricia Chardonnay is an elegant style balancing natural acidity with complexity and ripe stone fruit flavour. This vintage was a standout for Chardonnay especially from our Kayena vineyard in northern Tamar Valley. This wine combines the three best blocks from the 2022 vintage. The Kayena vineyard experiences cool ripening conditions, contributing to a tight style with wonderful white peach and citrus notes typical of a cool climate chardonnay. The wine shows a vibrant straw colour with a slight green hue. The nose is complex with aromas of stone fruits, cashews, citrus and pear. The palate is elegant with mineral characters, struck match complexity and incredible length. It is a crisp wine with well balanced acidity, oak, and layers of intrigue.

For the summer months the 2022 Patricia Chardonnay would be perfect with lightly fried white bait with a lemon mayonnaise dipping sauce. During winter try it with lobster accompanied by a lime and coriander butter. It is also perfect with ripe brie cheese and slices of freshly cut pear.
