R-Series Chardonnay 2025

R-Series Chardonnay This Chardonnay is an attractive, fruit driven wine, displaying notes of apricot and citrus on the nose. With an elegantly weighted palate, this wine delivers a rounded mouthfeel and smooth flow for a crisp and lingering finish. Variety: Chardonnay Vintage: 2025 Region: Limestone Coast Reviewer's words: 95 Points Light straw with golden highlights. Aromas of white peach, ripe nectarine and lemon curd are layered with subtle vanilla and roasted almond. Fresh fruit is complemented by restrained oak. The palate is medium-bodied with generous stone fruit, balanced acidity and a creamy texture. Hints of citrus and gentle oak spice lead into a smooth, lingering finish. ★★★★★ A well-balanced Chardonnay offering ripe fruit and amazing texture. - Russ Gallagher, Vino Masters 93 Points Beautifully poised and elegant, the bouquet shows ripe peach, fig, nougat, and oatmeal nuances, leading to a beautifully rounded palate that's elegantly weighted and finely flowing. Splendidly structured by bright acidity, finishing lingering and stylish. At its best: 2027 to 2033. - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 92 Points This is a flavoursome, lightly oaked style of Chardonnay from the Limestone Coast. A small amount was barrel fermented in French oak, and that certainly contributed to its textural richness on the palate. There are nice aromatics of cashew and rich crème brûlée. The palate has a nutty, stone fruit combination working neatly. Nice wine for drinking in the short term. -Ray Jordan, Winepilot
