Mattinson review of Coppabella The Crest Chardonnay 2022.

Coppabella The Crest Chardonnay 2022
$45, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Tumbarumba.

Grapefruit, ripe peach, pear and a waxy, creamy character combine to great effect here. Indeed if you want to experience a fresh-but-velvety chardonnay, this is the wine for you. It hits up with a good amount of flavour but it feels as though the flavour builds as it passes through your mouth, the finish then sealing the deal emphatically. Coppabella and chardonnay are a match made in heaven. The mouthfeel of this wine. The flavour. It’s beautiful. 94 points.
