Circe Hillcrest Chardonnay 2020
Mornington Peninsula, Australia
“The second vintage of releases from Circe wines are immensely appealing to me. May the partnership between Dan Buckle and Aaron Drummond continue to flourish. Slightly off topic, I was speaking to Dan at his recent Sparkling Summit (held at Chandon where he is now head winemaker) and he mentioned the challenges involved in tasting Sparkling bases first thing in the morning and then moving onto still, table Chardonnays. “I feel like I have to clean them all up!” BOOM!!!
More flesh than the Red Hill South Vineyard version. It’s apparent on the nose and in the mouth. Which is not to say it lacks detail or incisiveness. Citrus and nectarine flecked with honeydew melon, all held together with integrated acidity and smoked almond oak. More emphasis on texture here but it’s punchy through the finish with flinty accents. A triumph in every way. Excellent”
