Cape Mentelle Sixteen Hectare Chardonnay 2024

A really impressive Margaret River Chardonnay, the colour of the wine is a lemon/yellow. On the nose, we have cashews and almonds, alongside an array of stone fruits with florals and citrus, all supported by a minerally backing. There is excellent length here, along with poise and intensity. The wine has impressive oak integration, juicy acidity and it offers a taut, pleasing structure. Love it. It should continue to drink beautifully over the next six to eight years.
