Description
Isabel Wild Barrique Chardonnay 2020 was included in our 2025 Annual Showcase Chardonnay Top 20 Purely on the wonderful gesture of the winery to supply us with a small parcel of this stunning 5-year winery cellar aged Old-Vine Barrique Fermented Chardonnay from the generational 2020 vintage. What’s more… no premium was asked by the winery for the additional 3-years of aging… WOW! Second top-equal wine at the Fine Wine Annual Chardonnay Tasting, amongst an exceptional showing of 130 Chardonnays! Though two very different styles of Chardonnay shared the second spot, both were equally captivating and stunning. This vibrant Champion Trophy & Gold Medal award-winning Isabel sits in the “Rich & Oaky” style. Made from Mendoza Clone 30+ year old vines… and 100% wild fermented in a mix of puncheons and barriques, it spends a further year in barrel undergoing malolactic fermentation and extended time on lees. A project winemaker Jeremy McKenzie has been working on for several years, selecting small parcels of the finest estate fruit each year to go into this magnificent Chardonnay. Superb now… but no rush to drink, you can reap the rewards through 2027-2029.
Smells
A lifted perfume of with aromas of green apple, citrus, roasted hazelnuts, grapefruit, subtle smoke & flint, toasty oak with a creamy brioche undercurrent.
Tastes
Amazing power, balance and charm, the rich fruit, oak and flinty complexities are well integrated. A powerful, intriguing Chardonnay, a dead ringer for Cru White Burgundy. Serve with roast pork & chicken, lighter red meats and duck. For optimal drinking pleasure serve between 10-13 degrees.
We taste, rate & guarantee every wine we sell.
