Domaine Naturaliste Purus Chardonnay 2023

25 year old vines of Dijon clones grown in Karridale. Zero malolactic and matured in 40% new French oak. Lemonade fruit, white peach and struck blue stones, running river stream and hints of chalk. The palate explodes with guava and candied lemon drops. Scintillating acidity is a dominant feature which undulates and expands like a set of rolling waves. There is a salted lime rim and some real power with brawn. Purus takes you on a journey south where fruit grows a little differently and the whole drinking experience is a compelling one. A mesh of finely spun phenolics rounds out the finish. Fascinating stuff. Drink this wine with sashimi of snapper and white soy.
