Wendy, our welcomed friend is back. Subtly decadent, once given the time to open up, white flowers and orchard fruits roll out the carpet. Adelaide Hills Chardonnay naturally fermented in barrel and 10% in new Austrian oak. The result? All fresh apples and white petals, with a welcoming burst of acidity travelling the length. Minerality and saline textures. Cellar for up to ten, or drink now.

The hits just keep playing, and this one goes out to all my lovers of a cool climate Chardonnay. Lively acidity, utterly smashable, but let it warm a little in the glass and there are some lovely, generous layers that unfurl. Nuts, stone-fruit and crunchy pears, zest. No malo, just bright, zippy freshness. There's a little touch of new oak, but primarily it's second-use foudre fermentation. Wine to drink any day of the week.
