2025 Praeter Truscott Block Chardonnay

“From vines planted to soils of silty loam over deep clay, sandstone and quartz in Piccadilly, at 550m. Whole-bunch pressed and matured in large format French oak (25% new), on lees for 10 months, full mlf. Flinty struck-match notes engage the senses at once, with white peach, grapefruit pith and citrus zest. The palate opens with roundness, a panna cotta softness with lime zest, honeysuckle and riverstone scattered throughout. This has a prettiness to its profile and generosity of length.” 93 points, Katrina Butler, Halliday Wine Companion
