The Perfect Storm Chardonnay 2026, McLaren Vale
Pale straw with soft golden edges. Ripe peach and nectarine come through first, with fresh citrus and a little melon behind them, plus a quiet floral note and the lightest touch of creamy oak.
It’s medium-bodied and easy to drink. Juicy stone fruit sits against bright acidity that keeps everything lively, while a gentle oak influence brings a toasted almond note without getting in the way. Citrus runs through the mid-palate and the finish stays clean, with nectarine and lemon zest hanging around for a bit.
Vino Masters Score: 94/100 ★★★★ A bright McLaren Vale Chardonnay that mixes ripe stone fruit with good freshness and just enough oak.
