Mountadam Five-Fifty Chardonnay 2021

It’s elegantly expressed on the nose, showing ripe stone fruit, Gala apple and nougat aromas, followed by a succulent palate offering smooth texture and well-pitched acidity. Attractively composed and styled, making it delightfully drinkable. At its best: now to 2026. Score – 92. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, May 2024)
