Allegiance Wines Unity Tumbarumba Chardonnay 2025
$70, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Tumbarumba.

This chardonnay from the Tumbarumba region is bright and shiny with a serious rip of flavour and a memorably long finish. It’s exactly the kind of wine that made this region famous. It tastes of pineapple, pears, apple and yellow stonefruit, and while there’s a seasoning of cedarwood oak the fruit has the microphone. This is a high quality wine that is, as well, drop dead gorgeous to drink. 94 points.
