Brown Hill Estate Golden Horseshoe chardonnay 2024

One of the most engaging and complex chardonnays yet from Brown Hill. Despite the hot, dry season, early picking in the south delivered brightness, elegance and refinement. Hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed, then fermented with a mix of wild and inoculated yeasts. No malolactic, but regular stirring adds texture. Bright natural acidity drives a fine, linear palate with ripe stone fruit, roasted cashew and lemon rind, finishing with zippy freshness.
