Tasted blind in a lineup of six 2020 Chardonnays, the focus and fruit purity of this Seville Estate Reserve brings the mouth to water.
I've found previous vintages of this wine to be on the leaner side but there is a bit more depth in this release. Opening with scents of peach skin, mandarin peel, nougat and roasted cashews, it is a wonderfully textured Chardonnay. A citrusy drive is headed by lemons, lemon juice and ruby grapefruit with a creamy presence, toast and some vanilla pod sliding in underneath. A lick of Jersey caramel adds another level of pleasure and the class of a lithe minerally presence has me calling for more. It's just a beautiful drink and one I'd savour with every sip. Excellent!
