Sidewood Chardonnay 2019

Beautifully fruited and elegantly expressed, the bouquet shows apricot, rockmelon, fig and nougat characters, leading to a succulent palate that’s smooth and flowing. The wine offers pristine fruit flavours with subtle complexity, finishing long and supple. At its best: now to 2024. Score – 92. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, May 2020)
