TASTING NOTES

A refined, mineral Chardonnay for slow evenings and beautifully simple moments. Kooyong Single Block Faultline Chardonnay 2021 brings the cool-climate elegance of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, with a fresh, Chablis-like style that feels crisp, polished and effortlessly chic.

Expect bright citrus, delicate stone fruit and a subtle savoury, mineral edge, all wrapped in a clean, refreshing finish. Awarded 96 points by the James Halliday Wine Companion, this is a standout single-vineyard Chardonnay with plenty of finesse.

Bottled without fining and with minimal filtration, it is a beautifully expressive match for oysters, roast chicken or a quiet glass at the end of the day. Pour, pause and savour the moment.

Scores

96/100

Faultline has a lot of detail, but in a more restrained package than its sibling Farrago. There’s finesse across the tight palate with fresh lemon and grapefruit and some flinty sulphides. Plus the perfect amount of nutty lees to expand the palate a tad. Moreish, savoury, complex and delicious.
