(2024) Barrel fermented and Barrel aged in new and older French, this Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay wears that lightly, a wine in a focused, lightly flint-touched style that is more about ripe golden delicious apple and peachy fruit. Certainly the palate continues the theme of citrus and stone fruit finesse and a certain 'un-showiness'. The palate has texture and very finely tuned oak, a little creaminess to fruit and texture hints at something more exotic, but the acidity of the finish is elegant. Price and stockist quoted are for an earlier vintage at time of review.
