Guide to Gippsland Feature Week
Dirty Three All The Dirts Chardonnay 2024, Gippsland, AUD $55
This is a new label, which replaces The Dirty Chardy, and allows winemaker/proprietor Marcus Satchell to use grapes from all of the available vineyards—aka the dirts.
Light, bright straw-yellow hue; biscuity, creamy lees, almond and freshly rolled pastry aromas. Gently smoky. Very appealing flavour of lemon/citrus, creamy lees and pastry; the weight is medium-light but with good intensity, and it has delicacy and great drinkability. A lovely wine already, and should take some age well. (Screwcap)
