Golding The Exchange Chardonnay 2022

The naming of this wine has deep history with the Golding family’s Adelaide Produce Market trader background, dealing in a range of produce from the Adelaide Hills. The produce now is all about the wine trade, here touting a value-end Chardonnay, the regional hero white variety attracting plenty of attention these days. This is more towards the yellow stone fruit spectrum end, with a definite Middle Eastern spice note, citrus elements suggesting pink grapefruit at the centre of the palate, with a creaminess in the texturals to confirm the wine’s richer feels, while oak only raises its head in spicier finishing notes. Value for those into a richer-style Chardonnay.
