Sentio 'Captain's Creek' Chardonnay 2023

It was great to see Chris Catlow in the shop recently and his four current-release Chardonnays really stood out. It was hard to pick a favourite, however i landed on 'Captain's Creek' which is a site just west of the Macedon Ranges. Vines here were planted in the 1940s and are organically farmed. The fruit is vibrant and pure with flavours of orange blossom, waxy green apple and bronzed orchard fruit. There's a hum of energy and nice crackle of acid running through the wine. A salivating finish runs long into the distance. - Ches Cook, FWC.
