Crittenden Estate, Zumma, Chardonnay, Mornington Peninsula, 2021

Rich and expressive. Gun flint, lemon zest, just warm bread crust toastiness, fresh fig, sea spray briny line, white chocolate and almond slivers. Maintains elegance through structure and vibrancy. Fruit lines pulled tight with a savoury, final grip. Steps lighter than some other Mornington Chardonnays.
