Bright, fresh, zesty, juicy as. This ’22 Chardonnay, from a long and steady ripening season, sings one lively tune. It starts with summery aromas of apple and citrus with spiced pear. Brisk acidity guides freshness and structure. Fruit intensity is joined by some leesy nougat and mealy creaminess. A most convincing finish on this upbeat, bouncy youngster – top value for the price.
