Flowstone Chardonnay 2023
$45, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Margaret River.

If you’re looking for a Margaret River chardonnay that delivers in spades, look no further. This wine delivers everything that you could hope for. It tastes of roasted nuts, grapefruit, pears and white peach, with sweet cedar, lemonade and white flower characters hovering deliciously. It’s juicy, it’s generous, it’s controlled and it’s well structured. This wine will cellar well but really, it’s drinking beautifully now. 94 points.
