Te Mata Estate Elston Chardonnay 2023

In their words - In the glass, Elston Chardonnay 2023 exudes a radiant golden hue.  Its aroma is a captivating blend of grapefruit, white peach, vanilla, and roasted nuts, interwoven with subtle charred nuances and flinty undertones.

The palate presents exquisite freshness and structure with lemon brûlée, peach, toasty brioche notes and refreshing citrus. Elston Chardonnay 2023 is graceful, impeccably balanced, and finishes long and satisfying, with a subtle saline quality.

Critics thoughts - Wow. The aromas are breathtaking with lemon rind, lemon tree, hints of sandalwood, minerals and crushed stones. The palate shows a stunning interplay of sliced apples, green mangoes, lemongrass, honeysuckle, white cedar and intense lemons. Some flint and wet stones at the end and a briny aftertaste. 100% barrel-fermented. Aged 11 months in barrel. Drink now or hold.  97 Points James Suckling
