Ironcloud Rock of Solitude Chardonnay 2021 (JH 92)

Qantas Business Class

"The same clonal composition as the premium Alliance chardonnay: Clone 95 (35%), 96 (35%), 277 (15%), 76 (5%) and Gingin (10%). Hand picked, wild ferment, pressed to barrel, matured for 8 months in French oak (20% new). This is very good. Creamy yet taut, with a generous foundation of ripe orchard fruit, dovetailed salty acidity and fine phenolics. The Ferguson Valley is emerging as a very good home for chardonnay and this is a good example. 92 points."
