Wynns Black Label Chardonnay 2025
$45, 12.7% alcohol, screwcap, Coonawarra.

The intensity of fruit flavour, the length, the flair and indeed the overall quality of this wine are all – excuse me for saying – surprisingly good. Chardonnay from Coonawarra doesn’t have the most electric of reputations. But here we see sunny peach and pear flavours of excellent dimension, and complex characters of hay, wheat, toasted cedar and tonic water. It’s as engaging as it is impressive. It’s gold medal territory. 93 points.
