Coppabella Sirius Chardonnay 2021
AU$80, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Tumbarumba.
This is a wonderful wine, full stop. It’s a pleasure-seeking missile. It tastes of honeysuckle, cream, grilled peaches and preserved lemons and it feels like silk as it slides through your mouth. It also, to top things off, finishes with the most resounding flourish of flavour. Superb is the word. This is absolutely superb.
