Monte Christo Winery Chardonnay 2022, Central Otago

Bright, youthful, fresh and varietal with scents of white peach and red apple layered with compexities from barrel ageing and whispers of spice. Fresh, ripe and pure. Crisp ad dry on the palate with fresh fruit flavours that reflect the boquuet, the wild ferment strategy shows-off a touch of gun-flint enhancing the mineral qualities and suggesting a lovely style quality (I hope this is kept in future vintages). Well made, dry and tasty. Best drinking from 2024 through 2029.
