Singlefile Family Reserve Single Vineyard chardonnay 2024

This one comes off the family's Denmark property, and although the season was warm, the slightly more subdued climes have resulted in wines—especially chardonnay—that are quite exceptional. Opens with an inviting combination of lemon pith, cut lime, and a savoriness, while on the palate, other nuances of butterscotch, brioche, and a slightly cashew influence are cut with a little citrus minerality. It retains a cooler-climate fineness and precision, and this is an excellent example of southern region chardonnay.
