Flowstone Queen of the Earth Chardonnay 2024
$63, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Margaret River.

This is both distinctive and more-ish. It had me at hello but then it kept me engaged as well. It tastes of peach, flint, crushed fennel, grapefruit and cedar, though there’s a cleansing flush of citrus too and intriguing notes of apricot kernel and peach pip. This is a wine to sit on and savour. It strikes you up front, it’s long through the finish, it’s elegant in general and yet flavour-wise it hosts a whole community of goings on. 95 points.
