2021 Elgin Chardonnay, Lothian Vineyards
Pale-yellow in colour with gentle oak spices, nutmeg and orange pieces. Plenty to the palate with a crisp, clean acidity, serious wine, rich and gentle in texture yet delicate with plenty of orange, and apricot slices and yellow apple on the finish.
"I like the cashew nut and creamy nougat notes here along with lemon rind and apricot stones. Salted butter, too. Full-bodied and buttery but with excellent freshness and a long, nutty, lactic and salty finish. Drink or hold." James Suckling
