Allegiance Wines Tumbarumba Unity Chardonnay 2024
$65, 12.0% alcohol, screwcap, Tumbarumba.

This chardonnay is likely to develop well. It has attractive flavours/scents of flint, nectarine, pear and peach, with just enough cedarwood oak to make it feel special. This wine is also, though, keen with citrussy acidity; despite its undeniable flavour, its spine is prominent. As a result, it will be a few years before it enters its peak drinking period; once the wines mellows, then we’ll be away. 91+ points.
