This is a balanced, multi-layered Chardonnay of grip, texture and promises of further integration on cellaring.
The initial aromas and flavours reflect grapefruit and fennel with smooth support from the French Oak vanillin component.
The fulsome presence of primary Chardonnay varietal characters, typical of the Mudgee region, delivers a rewarding and refreshing long palate.
This great value, medal-worthy Huntington Estate Barrel Fermented 2023 Chardonnay is well worth seeking out.
