2021 Cobaw Ridge Chardonnay

Other Reviews....
Well, here’s a live one. A flintier, perhaps more saline launching pad this year. Tighter and leaner. Fresh. It’s unreal. Unnerving consistency.
Lemon zest, grapefruit juice, flint and sea spray. Scents and flavours high-fiving. It’s just so darn good to drink! Frisky and cool, licked at with alpine herbs and that saline minerally twang, but concentrated too, long, luxuriously so and gently palate staining despite its racier frame. And in that, still stacks of proper chardonnay flavour – razor sliced, just ripe stone fruits, green apple and its tart crunch, faint cashew nut savouriness, a lick of parmesan rind and all that glorious coolness through its epic, mouth-watering, lingering delight. Sheesh. This is outstanding. Drink 2022 - 2030.
