Eight at the Gate Chardonnay 2024
$25, 12.9%, screwcap, Wrattonbully

This is a great chardonnay to drink. It has flavour, it has energy, it has texture and it feels, as it travels through your mouth, as if it has a spring in its step. It tastes of pears and nectarines with apple and spice characters tossed through. There’s a whisper of cedarwood too. It’s a lovely wine. One sip and you know that you’ve chosen well. 91 points.
