Mattinson review of Provenance Golden Plains Chardonnay 2023.

Provenance Golden Plains Chardonnay 2023
$37, 13.2% alcohol, screwcap, South-west Victoria.

The even flow of flavour, the balance, the unmistakable character of chardonnay. There aren’t too many sub $40 wines that would beat this for quality. It tastes of nectarine, honeycomb, grilled peach, grapefruit and citrus, with cedarwod notes lending a hand. At every step it feels pure but then it also feels charismatic. We’re really onto something here. 94 points.
