Origines Focus Orange Chardonnay 2023

Quite restrained aromatically on first smell before unfolding with soft cinnamon spiced apple, apple blossom, brine, pear, lemon pith and pastry dough emerging with air. The palate is medium bodied with a slightly oily texture and a good burst of flavour. Pear, apple crumble, brine, Meyer lemon and lemon rind are wrapped up in a good lick of phenolic structure and a clean line of apple drenched acidity drawing to lovely length. This is quite pure with a delicious melding of fruit and salinity, and ample structure to frame what is a sapid palate. Very good.
