Holyman Chardonnay 2024

Grapefruit, white peach, lemon zest, aniseed, cinnamon and cedar oak, some vanilla and white flower perfume. It’s an intense and tightly-coiled wine, though it’s not lacking in pleasure factor even as a young wine. Bright grapefruity acidity, green olive, firm flinty and chalky texture, with a lively finish of excellent length. Mouth-watering and zesty to close. An excellent release, and while it’s good now, it’ll be even better with a couple more years in bottle.Full of detail, measured acidity and great mid palate intensity. The 2024 Chardonnay drinks well on first sip and is filled with subtle nuance and complexity. 96 pts, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
