Paralian Chardonnay 2023

The 2023 Chardonnay looks great and is a good continuation of style, coming off the 2022 release which was our first introduction to the wines of Paralian. Gary's note below is very accurate with more descriptors than you could poke a stick at. As for what i see, the wine is made up of golden fruit with mid-palate generosity, but a nice line of acid and a biscuity bite to the back-palate adding weight and a slight mealiness. Very good and recommended. - Ches Cook, FWC. 

Plenty of struck match, white peach, grapefruit, cinnamon and ginger spice, cut fennel perfume. Bright and tangy, a good core of grapefruity acidity, some lemon zest bitterness, a little lemon curd richness along with a light almond and cashew softness, flinty grip, and a long saline finish offering some gin and tonic bite. Tight. Lots of energy. Very good. Needs a little more time to settle, however. 94 points. - Gary Walsh, Wine Front.
