Paddy Borthwick Chardonnay 2022

Beautifully styled and complex, the enticing bouquet shows apricot, fig, nougat and roasted cashew characters with a hint of flinty nuance. It’s wonderfully weighted and rounded in the mouth delivering succulent fruit flavours together with creamy texture and well-pitched acidity, making it delectable and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2028. Score – 93. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Feb. 2023)
