Scout Chardonnay 2019, Lowburn, Central Otago

Tasted over three days - this wine shows that it needs some cellar time - aromas and flavours of flowers, clean air, mineral, ripe lemon and white peach with lite and darker baking spices of oak. Weighty, but not full-bodied with warming alcohol, medium+ acidity, a smoky mineral layer then more white fleshed fruits and citrus. Balanced and well made with a lengthy finish. Great drinking today and through 2026+.
