Delamere Vineyard Block Three Chardonnay 2023

Although this was quite a challenging season, the wine has emerged as a triumph of good management and careful planning. It’s a delicate wine, but that can be deceptive because within, there is a powerful penetration through the palate. The aromas are quite floral, with light nectarine-like characters. The palate has a crisp, slightly waxy feel to it. But then it gathers momentum and drives with purpose through to a precise long finish. That slightly savory edge on the finish completes an excellent wine.
