$125, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.

Fitter, stronger, longer. This is how you make elite chardonnay, and this is how this wine presents. It’s fresh, it’s flavoursome, it makes complexity look easy and it soars elaborately through the finish. You cannot ask for more. White peach, pear, steel, chalk, mineral and cedar notes combine with grilled nectarine and grapefruit. Everything here tastes gorgeous, and the finish sets the spinnaker up. 95+ points
