Flowstone Queen of the Earth Chardonnay 2022

Smells like baked goods and Sunday mornings. Nostalgic and toasty. As it opens, the nostalgia fades into gentle primary fruits – lime sherbet, white pear, morning fruit salad. Cooler-climate vibes, more work, less fluff. Vanilla custard, rolled oats, lemon butter. Intriguing and slow to reveal – like a good book or a bad date. Palate’s savoury, tense, mysterious. I keep going back for answers: green melon, pencil shavings, white peach, all bound by acid and charry oak. Would buy. Bye.
