Oakridge Local Vineyard Hazeldene Chardonnay 2024 Size::6 Bottle Case Rating: 92 PointsPale straw with a water white hue. Immediately ripe stone fruit: nectarines and white peaches then heady white florals white pepper praline wet stones and a touch of flint. There's a roundness and depth here with those flavours. And a texture like peach skin fuzzy al dente phenolics providing a savoury texture before the citrus acidity tightens the line bringing everything back into balance. Depth richness and subtle complexity are the hallmarks.
