Cox Family Wines Tumbarumba Chardonnay 2025
$40, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Tumbarumba.
This is a refreshing chardonnay with lemon barley, white peach and pear flavours moving gradually into apple and nougat. Its has good flavour and mouthfeel though it’s all set within a juicy, mouthwatering context. It’s drinking well already, even though it’s only a few months old, and it will improve over the next few years too. 92 points.
