BK Wines' The Fall Chardonnay 2022, ranking third in both picking order and theoretical Chardonnay line-up, is akin to the captivating Brigitte Bardot of wines. A perennial beauty, this Chardonnay boasts a jasmine-perfumed nose and a palate balancing enticing sweetness, sandalwood, and spiced oak with delicate hints of grapefruit pith. From the Carey Gully vineyard, this handpicked, wild-fermented gem spent 10 months in 25% new French oak, resulting in a rounded, voluptuous, and structured wine—generous yet tight. With only 100 dozen made, it's a true testament to Chardonnay excellence, earning 95 points from James Suckling in September 2023.
