Sandalford, Estate Reserve, Chardonnay, Margaret River, 2018

Toasty oak and bread crust rich aromas before lemon biscuit, yellow peach stone fruit skin, honeycomb and powerful white blossom. Medium bodied with well executed oak and lees use to create a fuller expression while maintaining freshness through the palate. Lingering honey tones intermingle with the grip through the finish. Good lick of Margaret River briny also. Drink now or later, the decision is yours.
