Description
 
The 2020 Uovo Chardonnay is from Porongurup, one of the prettiest subregions in the Great Southern, and east off the Albany highway as you're headed south. This little rocky outcrop, in what feels like essentially the middle of nowhere, is hauntingly beautiful and responsible for some very smart wines as well. This was made in a concrete egg-shaped fermenter (hence, "Uovo"), and this format tends to do interesting things to Chardonnay fruit and phenolics. As drinkers, we are so used to seeing this variety through the lens of oak that I find it incredibly important to look at it sans oak in order to remind myself of its versatility and capability. There are notes of dried lavender, green apple skins, crushed chalk, sweet pea, cut fennel (lots of this), white pepper, seashells and brine. This is a lovely wine. It is quiet, in its way, and punctuated by piercing acidity. It is not showing any age yet and seems to be in such a wonderful, restrained place. It was a pleasure. It won't be for everyone, but it certainly pleases me. 13% alcohol.Wine Advocate 94 (2020)
