The 2024 Kooyong Farrago Chardonnay is a finely detailed single-block wine from just 0.7 hectares of mature vines on the Mornington Peninsula. Ironstone-rich clay soils give the wine a distinctive mineral character, complementing aromas of pink grapefruit, mandarin peel, white peach and crisp apple with white flowers, fresh dough, roasted nuts, subtle oak and smoky flint.
On the palate, it is concentrated and expressive, combining generous stone fruit with vibrant citrus acidity. Fine phenolics and creamy, mealy texture provide depth without compromising precision, while saline minerality carries the wine through a long, energetic and persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a compelling single-vineyard Chardonnay for those who appreciate the combination of cool-climate freshness, mineral tension and beautifully integrated texture. Enjoy now after brief aeration or cellar until approximately 2036 for greater complexity. Ideal with seared scallops, grilled lobster, roast chicken, baked salmon or creamy mushroom dishes.
