Scotchmans Hill Chardonnay 2023 750ml

This is a complex and lively wine showing nectarine and grapefruit aromas rounded out by creamy notes and nutty oak. The palate is fresh with a mineral edge of white peach and grapefruit making way to a savoury mid palate and cashew nut oak finish. There is tremendous drive and structure with this wine which will reward cellaring over the next 6 to 8 years. - Scotchman's Hill 95 Points "The growing season saw crop losses during flowering and frost in some pockets before ideal vintage conditions through to harvest. Wild fermented and matured for 12 months in new and used French barriques. The complex bouquet heralds an extremely complex palate charging through to the long finish, cashew and grapefruit the vanguard." - James Halliday, Wine Companion 2024
