The Grange of Prince Edward Estate Series Chardonnay 2023

This bottle represents the first harvest of Chardonnay cultivated from the Victoria Block on The Grange estate since the vineyard revival from the previous year. The wine spends 10 months in French oak on its lees and undergoes lees stirring for about a third of that time.

It begins by offering a bouquet that’s reminiscent of mixed wildflowers and lemons on a warm summer day.  True to the County terroir, as winemaker Jonas Newman intended, the palate has a mineral-driven heartbeat with energetic acidity that glides through notes of lemon, grapefruit, and pastry. A refreshingly zealous and crisp, everlasting finish. 94 points
