Oakridge Blanc de Blancs 2017, Yarra Valley, AUD $65
100% chardonnay and aged on yeast lees for six years prior to disgorging in October 2023.
Bright straw yellow hue. Nougat, nectarine and bakery aromas lift from the glass. Front palate offers intense stone fruits then it fills in with toffee and brioche complexities. A good crunch of acid lifts it while the fine mousse cleans and refreshes the long palate. (DIAM)
