Ashbrook Estate chardonnay 2024

Ashbrook has put a lot of time and energy into elevating its chardonnays, and it's certainly paying dividends with another excellent wine from a season which, despite the heat, produced some first-rate chardonnays. There are plenty of tropical fruit characters here with hints of lemon rind and fresh quince, and then the palate integrates the oak and fruit perfectly, harnessing a sustained finish.
