Hill-Smith Estate Wild Ferment Chardonnay 2021

This super value wine with a touch of polish has been one of my favourite easy tipples for many years. And I still love it when I’m looking for current drinking. A delightfully fragrant and precisely presented Eden Valley chardonnay. Lots of lemon curd and zesty grapefruit characters emerge on the palate with a subtle hint of new oak from the fermentation. It’s nicely textured and ideal for drinking in the next few years.
