Geoff Merrill Georgie May Chardonnay 2023

Named after Geoff’s eldest daughter, this is a lovely Chardy, just redolent of fruit flavours. A pale lemon hue, there are notes of quince, peaches, stone fruit, figs and a hint of the tropicals, with mango and rockmelon. Ripe and full flavoured, this is no shrinking violet. There is good punch here and it lingers well. No reason to hold off enjoying it right now, but no issue with cellaring it for the next two to four years if you’d prefer.
