Auntsfield Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2022

Elegantly complex and enticing, the bouquet shows apricot, lemon peel, nougat, roasted cashew, and oatmeal nuances. It’s followed by a beautifully flowing palate that’s finely textured and lingering. Wonderfully composed and balanced, with a multi-layered mouthfeel, it is engaging and highly appealing. At its best: now to 2032. Score – 94. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, March 2024)
