Ross Hill, Pinnacle Series, Chardonnay, Orange, 2022

Lemon and grapefruit citrus with soft yellow stone fruit, soft doughy yeasty notes to almost brioche, honeysuckle, blonde oak with easy spice, savoury elements with a waft of white flowers. Initial generosity framed by oak before drawing in tight with puckering citrus and then lingering ginger tinged spice and creamy oak. Savoury base with fine, persistent length. Will integrate and develop further.
