De Bortoli Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 2019

If you had to pick a chardonnay that punches above its weight given its price point, this surely is it. Stamped with Yarra cool, so there’s flint and a citrus theme happening. Lemon blossom and juicy tangy fruit across a rather tight and linear palate. It’s certainly not lean, as there are dabs of leesy texture and a refreshing saline tang to the finish. Drink by: 2028. Special Value. Score – 95. (Jane Faulkner, winecompanion.com.au, Aug. 13, 2021)
