TASTING NOTES FOR Hentley Farm Villain & Vixen Chardonnay Barossa Valley South Australia 2021
🍷 Appearance
Pale lemon with bright green highlights. Fresh and youthful in the glass, showing excellent clarity and vibrancy.
👃 Aromas
Expressive and inviting, with aromas of citrus, white peach, nectarine and melon. Subtle notes of toast, roasted nuts and nougat add complexity and a gentle creamy edge.
👅 Palate
Fresh and fruit-driven, delivering ripe peach, pear, lime and green apple. Bright acidity provides excellent freshness, balanced by attractive stone fruit richness and subtle nutty, savoury characters.
🍈 Texture & Finish
Smooth and lightly textural with a soft, rounded mouthfeel. The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus, stone fruit and a subtle savoury note.
🍇 Overall Style
A modern, vibrant Chardonnay combining generous fruit with freshness and balance. Elegant rather than heavy, with enough texture and complexity to give the wine plenty of character. The 2021 vintage also received 94 points and a Silver Medal at the Royal Adelaide Wine Show.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with roast chicken, grilled seafood, creamy pasta dishes, chicken and leek pie or soft cheeses. Equally enjoyable on its own as a relaxed afternoon Chardonnay.
⭐ BBD Verdict
A bright, crowd-pleasing Chardonnay that delivers freshness, flavour and texture in equal measure. Ripe stone fruit, crisp acidity and subtle savoury complexity make this a versatile, easy-drinking Chardonnay with broad appeal.
Cheers
