Caledon Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2024, Coal River Valley
Brilliant bright straw. Intense butterscotch, citrus blossom, white peach, ripe melon and lemon, then brioche, wild-ferment savouriness and toasty oak (one of the most aromatic Chardonnay’s tasted this year).
Medium to full and full-flavoured. Generous stone fruit and citrus, vibrant lime and grapefruit acid. Fine French oak for cream and spice. Melon and peach through the middle. Finish of vanilla, lemon zest and fine oak tannin. Generous palate. Delicious intensity.
Vino Masters Score: 97/100 ★★★★★ A intense Coal River Chardonnay with butterscotch, peach and a long vanilla-citrus finish.
