Tapanappa Tiers Vineyard 1.5m Chardonnay 2022

This is a Chardonnay that is screaming for the cellar, and at least three or four years thanks to its current state which is wound up tight as a spring. It is bursting with embryonic aromas – grapefruit and tonic water with a strong mineral line well matched to spicy, fine grained oak. The palate repeats with forceful acidity only adding to the experience, the whole package beautifully balanced, immaculate and composed with a nice touch of smoky flint to finish. Super wine and great value but not ready.
