2022 Oates Ends Chardonnay
A vibrant and refined mid weighted Chardonnay.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a greenish glimmer to the edges and a watery hue. Nectarine and grapefruit aromas fill the nostrils followed by some citrus, gun flint and subtle roasted almond notes. Mid weighted, the palate features nectarine, citrus and grapefruit flavours over a roasted almond, biscuit and gun flint infused back drop. Fresh acidity lending a vibrant feel to the refined conclusion.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 13%
Other Reviews…..
Some wines just make you stop worrying to enjoy what’s at hand, which is this lovely chardonnay. It has richness and depth, full of stone fruit and grapefruit with ginger spice and honeycomb. Plus, layering on the full palate from cashew-like lees and a general creaminess with oak playing its part yet neatly integrated. The tangy acidity keeps this even and refreshing all the way through. Drink by 2033.
