Moss Brothers Fidium Margaret River Chardonnay 2024

A wild fermentation in oak barrels maintained in the cold room, before weekly lees stirring and the avoidance of malolactic fermentation, followed by ten months maturation, the final blend was a barrel selection. A lemon straw colour here, the nose is redolent of stone fruits, lemon curd, subtle Asian spices, a flick of oak, hints of the tropical and touches of grapefruit. The wine has line, length and energy, with crisp acidity running the full journey. Good balance throughout, this is a most enjoyable Chardonnay which will drink beautifully for at least the next six to eight years.
