Stella Bella Luminosa Chardonnay 2023
$110, 13.3% alcohol, screwcap, Margaret River.

A powerhouse of chardonnay fruit purity. Margaret River at its best. The length of a one-wood, the precision of a watchmaker. This is the Luminosa Chardonnay 2023. It has gravity, it has flair, its has honey-cream characters to its texture, and it has grapefruit on its spine. This wine doesn’t just seduce; it’s impresses itself. It’s got an extra spark through the finish too. Everyone who tastes this wine will rave. 97 points.
