The Lane Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Beautifully fruited and elegantly expressed, the wine shows ripe stone fruit, rockmelon, subtle vanilla and cashew aromas, followed by a delightfully flowing palate that’s succulent and supple. Well rounded and structured with a lingering silky finish. At its best: now to 2029. Score – 93. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, March 2024)
