Felton Road Bannockburn Chardonnay 2023

Light straw with inviting aromas of fleshy, ripe stone fruits, grapefruit and citrus with hints of grilled nuts, soft spice, pressed flowers, rice pudding, nougat, green apple skin and deftly-judged oak. It’s a wine of poise and grace on the palate, textural aspects simpatico with fruit purity and mineral cadence, sliding across the palate in harmony; citrus, stone and brine borne of soil at its core with great length of flavour, detail and clarity as it fades off. I loved this release. Drink from: 2024. Drink by: 2032. Special Value. Score – 96. (Dave Brookes, winecompanion.com.au, Jan. 13, 2025)
