The Rusty Shed Chardonnay, 2020
Shipped and sold by Flat Rock Cellars
The Rusty Shed represents a barrel selection of estate Chardonnays chosen for their full flavoured richness on the palate, textured with the subtleties of oak. When blending this wine we are looking for something with aging potential that is not only going to be fresh and vibrant today, but also enjoyed for years to come.
