Altus Rise Wildlight Chardonnay 2024

Chardonnay from Margaret River continues to excite lovers of this great grape around the world and it is terrific to see some good value options as well. A green/gold hue, the nose gives us notes of pears, florals, ginger, citrus, especially grapefruit with a little mandarin, and gentle hints of pears, as well as a pleasing flick of deftly handled oak. A wine of medium length, this has good focus, juicy acidity and is delightfully fresh. The flavours are really the highlight here. Enjoy this for the next three to five years.
