For sheer joyfulness and the Chardonnay spirit of summer, this Geographe Chardie fits the bill. Gotta love all the zing and freshness. Plush in white peach, honeydew melon, lime, lemon, almond, hazelnut. Time in French barriques, some new, extended time on lees and the result is a lovely, inviting texture – nothing too heavy – just right. It’s matched, complemented, by that zing and zip of acidity that threads its way through the wine. So drinkable either solo or at the table.
