Tasting notes:
The Kings Bastard Chardonnay 2022 offers enchanting aromas of brioche, ripe rock melon, and subtle oak with a gun flint twist. The palate is supported by oak tannins, ripe stone fruit, and citrus, with partial malolactic fermentation lending a softer texture.

'A bold and expressive bouquet fillead with scents of apple-cream and peach custard, vanilla and Brazil-nut butter. Dry, full-bodied, creamy and weighty as the wine touches the palate. As this feature fade the flavours of peach and vanilla emerge along with a grapefruit peel quality. Fine fruit tannins and medium+ acidity frame the core fruit flavours adding to lengthy, balanced finish. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2028+.'
