Bradley Hutton Wildberry Chardonnay 2023

Single vineyard, indigenous yeats, barrel fermented and matured in French oak for 12 months. For a newly released wine this is decidedly well integrated. There is a cacophony of exotic tropical fruits, guava, mango and blush nectarines. Struck blue stone, pink frangipani blooms and peanut shells. Makrut lime leaf, mangosteen and a hint of passionfruit. Oak is displayed in its generous and rounded mouthfeel backed by powerful driving acidity. There is a lot at play here with layers of fruit flavours and weighty palate richness. Drink well now but time might be on its side allowing more detail to unravel, I’d cellar for around 2-5 years more. A lovely wine to show off bbq shellfish, tiger prawns and buttery dipping sauce.
