Mulline Single Vineyard Portarlington Chardonnay 2024

A precise, coastal Chardonnay from Mulline’s windswept Portarlington site on the Bellarine Peninsula. Just one kilometre from the shoreline, the vineyard’s sandy loam and limestone soils shape a wine of freshness and finesse. Wild fermented in French oak (20% new) with full solids and partial malolactic fermentation, it delivers citrus, white peach and sea spray notes with fine mineral drive. A vibrant and focused expression of cool-climate Chardonnay.

“From a vineyard on the water in Port Arlington planted in ’94. 20% new French barriques; 15% mlf. Mullinetook full control of the vineyard in ’23, and it now shows in what’s the best Port Arlington Chardonnay I’ve tasted. Aromas of perfectly ripened stone fruits, orange blossom and a touch of sea spray precede the chalky, nicely concentrated and very well-balanced palate. A delight to consume now and over the next three to five years plus” – 97 pts – Halliday Wine Companion
