John Kosovich Wines
Pemberton Vineyard Chardonnay
Swan District, Greater Perth, Western Australia, Australia
We ended up cracking this bottle of John Kosovich 2016 Chardonnay yesterday for International Chardonnay day🥂 It’s made from Pemberton grapes (South West WA) and I picked it up from their Swan Valley cellar door on my trip to Perth last year.
If you haven’t visited the John Kosovich cellar door in the Swan Valley yet, do it! It’s underground and was hand dug over 90 years ago! Not only is it a cool spot to visit but the wines are 👌👌. I’m a big fan of their Chenin Blancs too!
More about this Chardy:
💛 Hand harvested
💛 Matured for 6 months in French oak
💛 $36 per bottle
I would have loved to hold onto this longer, but I couldn’t resist. I must get some more for the cellar as I definitely think it’ll age really well over the next 5-6 years.
It’s a pretty vibrant yellow shade in the glass. On the nose it makes me think of peaches, pineapple and vanilla spice with lemon citrus and minerality making it smell wonderfully fresh. In the mouth it’s got bright acidity with a silky buttery texture and it’s just bloody scrumptious! And I may have been pouring slightly more in my glass compared to Mr Spittoon’s each time... Shhhhh 🤫
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!

Pale daffodil colour on the eye. Aromas of buttered corn on the cob, tropical fresh melons, freshly baked bread and hints of caraway seeds. On the palate it's round, juicy and gobsmackingly good! Butter, oak, tropical fruits, refreshing citrus zing. It's the bomb diggity of Chardys! $32 from the cellar door and only 250 cases produced.

Sep 10th, 2015Nice chardy! Will do very well with age. Aroma of peach crumble and green pineapple, with hints of burnt toast. Round palate of tropical fruit with a strong emphasis on lemon. Long acidity on the finish. I think this will be pefect in 3-5 years time.

Sep 23rd, 2016Mi reality and depth of flavour persists. Great acid/ oh/ alc balance, oak component could work harder to add length
