Byron & Harold Rags to Riches Margaret River Chardonnay 2022

Fermentation for this fine example of Margaret River Chardonnay was in a mix of stainless steel and oak. The colour is a pale lemon. This is very much in the leaner style of local Chardies, with a clean, minerally backing. Gentle florals and citrus on the nose with a hint of hazelnuts and a very light touch of oak. The palate offers some pleasing fruit sweetness, with almost a tutti-fruiti character, in the most positive sense. There is fresh acidity, good focus and a lingering finish suggesting three to five years pleasure ahead.
