For those who enjoy a Chardonnay with some flesh, this is a dream boat. It's a fabulous release from Huntington Estate.
Hand-picked, whole bunch pressed with only free run juice used, 15% saw wild yeast fermentation with three months in French oak.
Long and fabulously rounded, there is plenty of give. It's not heavy-handed by any stretch, but handled with judicious precision. Highlighted by lemon meringue, grilled pineapple, lemon zest and white fleshed nectarines, chiselled yellow fleshed grapefruit cuts through late. A fine creaminess and vanilla slice textured presence adds further detail and class to a fabulous drink. Great stuff and then some for $35!
Drink to eight years.
94/100
