Saint & Scholar With Honours Chardonnay 2023

Chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills, this is a pale lemon hue with green flecks. The nose offers pronounced perfumes with notes of cashews, mandarins, rockmelon, stone fruits, oatmeal and grapefruit. Notes of beeswax appear on the finish and there is also a flick of oak. This is no shrinking violet. Quite a firm style with some apparent grip on the finish. There is punchy citrussy acidity and some serious length, with good balance throughout. Enjoy over the next three to five years.
