Bloodwood Schubert Chardonnay 2022

Made in honour of late Australian winemaker Max Schubert, this chardonnay stands tall amongst its peers and has stayed true to its purposeful intentions. Extended French oak, malic acid and extended lees stirring. It's a textural explosion of Meyer lemon skin, white nectarine and yellow plum. The palate coils with a python-like vice, squeezing every inch of flavour from the quality berries and electrifying with its perky acidity. A journey through roasted Marcona almonds, creamy vanilla bean custard and honey biscuits follows. A wine that goes from strength to strength, lingering in your memory and on your tongue. Drink to 2032. 96 Points. Shanteh Wale, Halliday's Wine Companion.
