Onannon Tuerong Chardonnay 2022 750ml

This is all the things that Will likes about Chardonnay. He likes good oak, he likes good flavour. It’s the genisis of what became his style of Chardonnay. By oxidating this, he knocked a little bit of the primary fruit off it – and its left with some of those wonderful secondary flavours and botanicals. The richness, the full bodiness all gives the wine beautfiful textures – which has come from pure experimentation in an expression that Will loves working with best!

Plenty of struck match, ginger snap biscuits, cardamom, curry leaf, aniseed, so much spice, pink grapefruit and stonefruit, lots of flinty texture, a buttery white mint chocolate richness, and a very long grippy finish. This is so complex and engaging. Caramel with citrus bite. So lovely. 95 points.
