2022 Pierrepoint Alexandra Chardonnay

Halliday Wine Companion SILVER MEDAL Score 93
“Whole-bunch pressed and matured in a mix of new to 5-year-old French barriques; 100% mlf. Quite a deep, bright, green gold. An attractive, if slightly old-school bouquet featuring ripe orchard fruits that sit nicely alongside some soft, malo-derived brulee notes. Medium bodied, the palate is gently creamy but also well balanced. The finish is long and satisfying.
Screwcap. 13.5% alc. ”
