This is a chardonnay for our time – modish and wholesome. It has lifted peach and nectarine aromas, leading to flavours of peach and rockmelon with a hint of cashew. Light and graceful this Longboard surfs fluidly over the palate. French oak barrels, old and new, give a little sheen and a touch of complexity. Fresh flavours carry through on the finish giving elegance and length.
Reviews & Awards
2016 Longboard Chardonnay
“95 points + Special Value”
“Announces its credibility with the first whiff of the bouquet, equally quickly confirmed by the palate. This is very good stuff, fully ripe at 12.5%, and not looking to be a wannabe sauvignon blanc. It’s white peach first up, then pink grapefruit takes command on the back-palate and finish.”
James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion website, February 2018
Bellbrae Estate
“Best Wineries of the Regions” + “5 black stars”
“The Surf Coast area of Geelong enjoys a slightly milder climate overall than other areas of the Geelong viticultural region. Being so close to Bass Strait, Bellbrae Estate experiences a maritime influence that reduces the risk of frost in spring and provides more even temperature ranges during summer – ideal growing conditions for producing elegant wines that retain their natural acidity.”
