2021 Redheads Harmonie Rox Coonawarra Chardonnay

From the southern corner of South Australia we find the Redheads Harmonie Rox Chardonnay that lives mainly in a world dominated by red wines. This Harmonie Rox comes from the Coonawarra appellation, very famous as the place for the best Cabernet Sauvignon in Australia. Surprisingly, Coonawarra is even cooler than Bordeaux and offers almost ideal growing conditions for wine grapes. Terra Rossa, named for its red color caused by iron oxide, provides excellent drainage and is widely regarded as a crucial part of Coonawarra's success as a wine-producing area, thus also a place where the Chardonnay grape has an almost Burgundy style. Elegant, nice acidity, good storage potential and can age well

The Chardonnay grapes come from the single vineyard Harmony Rox 2021 of the same name. It is a very compelling Chardonnay located in Coonawarra which is a cool climate region located at the same latitude as the Yarra Valley, which is known for the production of world-class Chardonnay. However, the Coonawarra offers a limestone bed (like Burgundy) which contributes to Harmonie's vibrant and delicious flavour. The Harmony Rox Chardonnay grapes are fermented and aged in French oak barrels and partly in stainless steel to maintain freshness.

Delicious notes of white peach and nectarine with hints of mandarin. Elegant, dry and complex with a citrus mandarin aftertaste. This is a very nice Chardonnay with an excellent price-quality ratio. Perfect with a cheese board with dried apricots and honey.
