Thunderstone Chardonnay 2024

Another wonderful wine showing the virtues of the cooler climes in the Porongurup in the state’s Great Southern. The early ripening Chardonnay was ideally suited to this warmer vintage, and this is a wine that packs plenty. The aromas of lemon curd and citrus with some subtle spices open things with anticipation, and then the palate really kicks in with its intensity and power. Yet it’s all held nice and close and snug by some crisp acid and a judicious use of oak. This is a classy Chardonnay and a hugely promising one at that.
