Thomas William chardonnay 2025

Another impressive chardonnay from this emerging producer. Fruit comes from south of Margaret River and was whole-bunch pressed before being fermented in a mix of new and seasoned French oak. It spent nine months on lees, during which time it's really picked up that richness and layered complexity. On the nose, there's a bright, lively lemony oyster shell character, and then the palate reveals more stone fruit with a little vanilla pod complexity. Lovely mouthfeel.
