Moppity Vineyards Lock & Key Chardonnay 2024
$30, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Tumbarumba.
Immaculate chardonnay. It tastes of fresh, juicy pears and lemon zest, grapefruit and stonefruit, with a smidgen of cedarwood as seasoning. It’s well balanced, well-flavoured and well finished; even the aftertaste rings with succulent fruit. This, hands down, is another winner from Moppity. 92 points.
