Plantagenet York Great Southern Chardonnay 2023

Plantagenet, now owned by Tom and Jo Wisdom, with Mike Garland heading the winemaking team, is an impressive outfit, which has been delivering wines of consistent quality from WA's remote great Southern for decades now. This is a new Chardonnay release in its debut vintage and we feel is sure to go down a treat. It boasts aromas of white stone fruit papaya and honeydew melon with brioche notes and French toast. Richly textured palate showing fleshy peach and nectarine characters and a nutty creaminess on the mid-palate, nicely framed with savoury French oak. "A wine brimming with ripe and intense stone fruit characters from the white peach and edgy nectarine notes on the nose through to the deeply intense palate. There’s a nice cashew and creamy peach thing happening with fine acid adding precision and focus through to the finish. Really well managed wine". enthiuses Ray Jordant, Wine Pilot. Try with a chicken and mushroom crepe.
