Timo Mayer Volcanic Chardonnay 2024

Made from fruit purchased from the Lusatia Park vineyard in Woori Yallock and barrel fermented in seasoned 300L hogsheads. A light, bright green gold. Pristine with aromas of lemon drops, pink grapefruit and orange blossom. This flows onto the restrained, linear and understated palate. Finishes gently chalky and with good length. Will be even better in six to 12 months as it fills out a little. Right now, I'm thinking this would work a treat with pan-fried whiting and the like. 94 pts, Phillip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion,
