A richer and more concentrated frame, this Swinging Bridge Hill Park Chardonnay has measured depth and weight.
Yellow-fleshed stonefruit takes centre stage, bringing golden apple and little licks of custard powder into the mix. Fine almond nuttiness adds a gentle savoury edge, while grapefruit and lemon sherbet provide a refreshing citrus tang that keeps the palate moving.
But it’s the texture that really catches the eye. Delightfully textural, those Mediterranean tonic-like feels give the wine a wonderful sense of grip, shape and flow.
There’s plenty of substance here, carrying its richness with a quiet confidence before hanging on through a persistent finish.
