Castelli Pemberton chardonnay 2025

There were some very good chardonnays from Pemberton from the '25 vintage, and this is yet another of them. Captures the regional DNA on the nose with a peach blossom, floral, and slightly chalk dust character. The palate is still quite tightly wound, but there is good fleshy intensity, albeit held close to create a finely linear, minerally wine. It's a fine style of some delicacy, but with the intensity of the vintage.
