Elanto 2024 Offer

A terrific follow up to the inaugural release, coming out with more weight and body. Mid-straw gold and bright. Floral and waxy with lemon, spiced stone fruit, brown spices and honeycomb - lots within yet definitely in the savoury spectrum. Fuller bodied, rich, almost al dente with its phenolics and layers of texture via creamy, nutty lees. It's detailed yet supple, with a succulence thanks to the all-important uplifting acidity. Moreish and compelling. (96) JANE FAULKNER, James Halliday's Wine Companion

The Elanto vineyard - at Balnarring on the Mornington Peninsula - is 10.6 hectares of 11,111 vines each hectare, which equates to a vineyard made up of 117, 777 individual vines. This is the second release of a chardonnay from this remarkable vineyard. It's made by Sandro Mosele.
This is seriously good. The intensity of fruit is the thing, and the associated length, though there's a keen textural element and just plenty of wow factor besides. Yellow peach, citrus, nougat, honeycomb and lemon blossom notes charge throughout. There's a lot of fruit, a deal of acidity, and a sizeable serve of oak, but all work together and all feel commanding. (96) CAMPBELL MATTINSON
