Gentle Folk Basket Range Chardonnay 2024
$75, 13.1% alcohol, DIAM cork, Adelaide Hills.

This chardonnay is drastically good. It’s mellifluous. It has texture, flavour, intensity and length but it’s the wine’s softness and character that really seduces. It tastes of lemon, white peach, pears and custard powder, with honeysuckle notes floating over the top. It’s gorgeous. If you met it in a bar you wouldn’t be able to stop yourself from asking it for its phone number or instagram handle or LinkedIn account or anything to keep it as part of your life. 95+ points.
