Tumbarumba Chardonnay in its birthday suit. Purity and vibrancy. Compelling definition.
Linear flavour and extension. Nectarines, mandarin, wheat germ, puff pastry and citrus. No discernible oak but there is a little fine, chalky grip. Far from neutral. Chardonnay with a quartz-like mineral clarity and precision. You’d swear it was Swiss. A fine bespoke wristwatch of a wine. 93+
