Turon Chardonnay 2025
AU$36, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
This wine is drinking very well now but I suspect that will be an even better wine in another 12-24 months. It tastes of grilled peaches and pears with apple, vanilla custard and aromatic herb notes as highlights, though what it’s perhaps most characterised by is its freshness and energy. Either way it’s a lovely wine but with a bit more time it will flesh out further.
