Though based in a pretty fine Chardonnay region of Tumbarumba, Allegiance Wines flagship Chardonnay comes from the premium region of Margaret River.

Allegiance Wines, Unity, Chardonnay, Margaret River, 2022

Light straw with gold highlights. Creamy coffee oak and candle wax jostle with grilled stone fruit, grapefruit pith and plenty of freshly opened cashew packet. Generous and ripe front with a force of persistence and length that suddenly zips up tight with acid. Does threaten to topple over itself but retains its feet at the right time.
