The Wanderer Macclesfield Yarra Chardonnay 2024

Citrus order delivered. All kinds of citrus, the cool citrus of lemon and limes, grapefruit, mandarin, fresh and preserved. Citrus blossom and some tangy stone fruits too, with a dusting of cashew, smoke, spring honey and alpine herbs. Pure and quivering, supremely intense, all muscle and tension. There’s just that delightful mid-palate softening texture, cream and pulpy fruit. Mineral and long, there is something relentless about the Wanderer Chardonnay, pulsating and making its presence felt long after a draw. I really hope you can keep your hands off it for 5-7 years and then some. Norris at Waters Wine Co
