Mount Bold Chardonnay 2026, McLaren Vale
Pale straw with a bright golden edge. Yellow peach and ripe melon show on the nose, along with fresh citrus, a little white flower and a soft cashew note. Medium-bodied. Juicy stone fruit and lemon zest sit against a gentle creamy texture, with fresh acidity keeping it lively. Restrained oak adds a light toasted almond character without dominating. The finish is clean with, pineapple, citrus and nectarine.
Vino Masters Score: 92/100 ★★★★ A fresh, balanced McLaren Vale Chardonnay with ripe stone fruit, good acidity and a subtle creamy edge.
