Yarraloch Stephanie’s Dream Chardonnay 2021

This small Yarra producer continually turns out excellent wines, and this is another. It’s light to medium-bodied, but with astute winemaking built in, it’s created a complex and absorbing expression of Chardonnay. The nose is a mix of roasted cashew and lemon curd, with a richer stone fruit and subtle flint. The palate is textured with stone fruit and light nuttiness, balanced with a neat touch of oak.
