Flowstone Chardonnay 2020

TASTING NOTE

Appearance: white-gold, with limpid green hues.

Aroma: Complex aromas of stonefruits, roasted hazelnuts, beurre bosc pears, pink grapefruit, and pastries, with hints of honeysuckle. This is a complex expression of southern Margaret River Chardonnay.

Palate: This wine shows a magical combination of textures and complex flavours, white retaining a lightness. It shows a perfect balance of generous fruit, seamless oak, and a refined chalky acid finish.

The flavours apparent on the nose are reflected on the palate. They are generous, but not heavy; full, but not rich. This wine walks the tightrope of beautiful texture, flavour and delicacy. The balance is something to behold.

This is a serious Chardonnay of complexity and balance, while retaining an elegantly structured palate.

FOOD IDEAS

bbq scallops with paella, or salmon fish cakes with honey/butter sauce and steamed vegetables.

DRINK

The wine drinks beautifully now, and will do so for a further 10 years at least.
