This year marks the return of this bottling, which had been on hiatus since 2011, as the company restructured its plantings in the Gimblett Gravels. The 170 cases of 2016 Les Beaux Cailloux Chardonnay consist of Mendoza Clone from Block 19, planted between 2009 and 2011. All barrel-fermented and aged in 40% new French oak barriques, this medium-bodied wine is smoky and flinty on the nose, toasty but crisp and lean, with just enough honeyed peach and pineapple fruit to balance out its grapefruity essence and tart, lingering finish.
