Thompson Estate The Specialist Chardonnay 2023

This is the pinnacle of chardonnay produced at Thompson Estate, and this is certainly one of the finest they have produced. Strikes immediately on the nose with a complex maze of cashew, butterscotch, and slightly savoury notes, providing an engaging opening. The palate, though, is where this wine comes alive. There's a deep intensity here with concentrated fruit. It's delivered with such poise and refinement through sustained elegance. Flavours are concentrated with a butterscotch, savoury, grapefruit character, augmented with a fine savoury finish to complete an excellent wine.
