Distant Noises, Chardonnay 2021 Chateau La Grave Singalier

Distant Noises, Chardonnay 2021 Chateau La Grave SingalierToasted pine nuts, softly smoky and chiselled. Properly smart Chardonnay with all those aromas we associate with much more expensive wines! Tangerine and pithy citrus, lemon tarts, both the pastry and filling, and a little spice and fine acidity. Made by Tom Carson of Yabby Lake, who has been awarded for quality Pinot Noirs (and Chardonnays) probably more than any other Australian winemaker.
