Ghostgum Vineyards Chardonnay 2021

This is a new and exciting name on the wine scene. A superb Chardonnay from east-facing vineyards at Main Ridge on the Mornington Peninsula, much is expected here and much delivered. A straw yellow in colour, this is taut, concentrated and clearly a quality Chardonnay. We have notes of cashews, stonefruits, figs, wet river stones, melons and a flick of vanilla. The gentle oak influence is integrating well and the wine is balanced. Clean, fresh and energetic with bright acidity and very good length, there is so much to like here. Expect this to drink beautifully for at least the next five to eight years.
