Garagiste Le Stagiaire Chardonnay 2021 Victoria Mornington Peninsula
$31.95
Garagiste Le Stagiaire Chardonnay 2021
Fruit is sourced from three vineyard sites in Tuerong, Merricks and Balnarring with an average vine age of 25 years. Intense and opulant aromas. This is an elegant Chardonnay that will improve as it opens up. Tropical peach, nectarine and citrus pith and complexity from its time on lees.
Anyone with even a passing interest in cool-climate Australia will already know that Garagiste is one of the Mornington Peninsula’s brightest rising stars. Barnaby Flanders created the Garagiste label following his amicable split with Allies co-founder David Chapman (who continues with the Allies label). ‘Barney’ now focuses on a snug range of small-batch wines from fruit sourced from the highly prized Merricks Grove vineyard, the Silverwood vineyard (Balnarring), and the Hugh Robinson vineyard in Moorooduc. Garagiste, the main label, is ably supported by delicious entry-level wines under the Le Stagiaire banner. Barnaby and Cam (Marshall) manage all aspects of the viticulture and winemaking themselves and a range of succulent, finely tuned and elegantly crafted cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is what results. Garagiste isn’t a slave to fashion and doesn’t charge like a horde of agitated wildebeest. Hey-Diddly-Ho, as Mr Flanders’ cartoon namesake might utter.
