UMAMU Estate Chardonnay 2025
AU$65, 12.8% alcohol, screwcap, Margaret River.
This wine is proud with peach and citrus flavours, come laced with attractive cedarwood, malt and toast notes, and washes out refreshingly through the finish. It’s both crisp and flavoursome at once, and feels well balanced throughout. It’s good now but it will be better again with a couple more years under its belt.
