So much flavour and concentration in 2020 Chardonnays, and this is no exception. Lemon reduction and freshly toasted almost lift from the glass. The palate has all the hallmarks of a richly flavoured Chardonnay with white peach flesh and freshly baked brioche; however, a fantastically taught acid line reins in the flavour and gives freshness and vitality. Beautiful.
