Shadowfax Wines Macedon Ranges Chardonnay 2021

This excellent example of the modern Australian Chardonnay style already has a lot going for it at this young age thanks to its delicious vibrancy and fruit energy. It is bursting with precise melon, citrus and sherbet aromas well matched to reserved, cinnamon scented oak. The palate is then well composed, with mouth filling citrus fruits tightly wound by tangy acidity, some buttery, lemon curd nuances just helping to fill out the package. It’s a tight wine right now and really needs a couple of years to flower and build a bit more texture.
