Swinging Bridge Mrs Payten Chardonnay 2021

This is a beautifully pitched version of Orange Chardonnay which showcases the local cool climate with smart winemaking bringing out delicious savoury tones. Pale in colour, the aromas are bright and tight with melon, citrus and floral aromas wrapped up in savoury delicatessen oak complexity. It’s then lively and juicy with fresh acidity at its core well matched to good concentration and length. An elegant style of Chardonnay done well.
