Symons Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay 2024
$48, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, Mornington Peninsula.

Champion chardonnay. Flavoursome, svelte, creamy and complex, with all the bells and whistles and some X-factor on top. It tastes of peaches and citrus, grapefruit and flint, almonds, meal and cream, and at every step it comes across as both impressive and delicious. The quality of this wine is right up there. It’s exceptionally well priced, too. Symons has announced itself this year as a seriously high class producer. 95 points.
