Ferren, Chardonnay Frei Road other_regions_australia a little more mushroomy justThe 2021 Chardonnay Frei Road Vineyard opens with wafts of matchstick that give way to citrus peel, almonds, gravel dust and crme frache aromas. The light bodied palate is driven by firm, linear acidity. It's packed to the brim with citrusy flavors, and it has a long mineral driven finish. Reminiscent of Chablis, this shimmery Chardonnay will be long lived in the cellar.
