Hutton Reserve Chardonnay 2022

The standard Triptych is a terrific Chardonnay, but this baby takes it to another level. Like all the Hutton wines I have seen, there is immense power. This is now an exception, but it delivers a refined linear structure at this level. Yet another wine from the Wildberry Springs Vineyard, showing the intensity and fruit concentration that has made it such an important vineyard in the region. Stone fruit and savoury lemon curd aromas merge. There is some winemaking influence on the palate, but it’s been finessed so the slightly struck match savoury characters sit comfortably. There is a bright vitality on the finish with lip-smacking minerality.
