Coppabella Chardonnay 2024
$35, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Tumbarumba.
Coppabella is an excellent producer and this single vineyard chardonnay from the famed Tumbarumba region is a prime example. It’s both a quality wine and a delicious one. It tastes of pears, stone fruits, tropical fruit and cedar, and the way it slings through the palate and bursts out through the finish is up there with the best of them. You get all this for $35. Wow.
