Island of Sliding Doors Chardonnay 2025
$90, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Tasmania.

This wine has a long future ahead of it. It’s a wine of clean lines and impressive persistence, with pristine flavour delivered throughout. It tastes of pears, citrus, hazelnuts and orange peel, with flint and brine notes pushing through the finish. There’s texture here but it’s not overdone; everything is delivered just so. Patience will be rewarded; this has a brilliant future ahead of it. 94 points.
