2024 Matilda Reserve Chardonnay
2024 Chardonnay
Margaret River, Western Australia
Bright aromas of ripe lemon and lime, mingle with notes of white nectarine and flinty minerality from the tight-grained, lightly toasted French oak maturation. The flavours are fresh and vibrant, with lively acidity that balances the richness of the nectarine and white peach fruit. The oak influence is subtle contributing to structure, length and minerality. Enjoy now or cellar for up to 10 years.
