Riversdale Estate Chardonnay 2023

Shows some complexity, courtesy of warm, cedary and toasty oak, amongst the citrus, stone fruits and spice. It’s still a wine coming together with oak yet to fully integrate but give it time. It is essentially a linear line of flavour at this early stage, one that will fill out but the basis for a complex future is there. Nectarine, white peach, melon, lemon flavours are joined by roasted nuts, nougat and a smoky oak char on the palate. Crisp acidity is a hallmark.
