Toolangi F Block Chardonnay 2022
RRP: $100.00
95 Points – The Wine Front 2024
“…It’s a richer style, with some oatmeal savoury flavours, a viscous and glossy feel, but has bright well-integrated acidity. There’s some cinnamon and pastry dough, nectarine and a little spice, some chalkiness to texture, with a smooth finish of excellent length. It’s a full Chardonnay experience, but also shows such fine balance. I like this a lot.”
- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
Low cropped fruit of Gin Gin Chardonnay clones from 21 year old vines on F Block representing the very best Chardonnay parcel grown at Toolangi Vineyard.

Viticultural Notes:
2022 will be remembered for the tiniest yields in a decade resulting from poor flowering conditions in our part of the Yarra Valley. The quality of the resultant wines of this vintage however are outstanding with both concentration and finesse.
