2021 Charteris Hunter Valley Chardonnay

Brilliant very pale straw colour with highlights of green around the outskirts and a watery hue. Aromas of nectarine and pear intermingle with hints of lemon butter, bees wax and spicy melon. Fleshy white peach, pear and ripe melon fruits decorate the mid weighted palate with faint bees wax and spice characters lying underneath. Nicely textured and showing good freshness it has a supple, fruit driven conclusion.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc. 12.8%

PJ Charteris does Hunter Chardonnay under this, his own label here.
Flint and talc scents, a bit of nectarine, a bit of brown pear. Flavours soft, minerally, a bit toasty, licked with flinty notes, grapefruity, pear. Understated and soft, lively at the same time, a good time too. Nicely done. I like the gentle, calm feel here. Drink 2022 - 2025+
