Tasting notes
The 2022 Chardonnay is powerful and texturally a little slippery, with a rambunctiously peachy palate with notes of nuts, nougat and stone fruit. The acidity is tense, which works well in the context of the ripe fruit, but the wine retains its opulent style throughout. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
