Mayer Bloody Hill Villages - Coldstream Chardonnay - 2025

Chardonnay. Served straight up. Juicy with a strong clatter of brine and chalkiness, gingery spice underlaid in tart, green apple, tonic/mineral water, just-ripe peach and just-ripe pineapple. Crispness and freshness then with light to medium weight depth. Excellent persistence and sense of vitality. Very tight and racy, if not skeletal. Very true to style of the producer. 94 Points Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
