This is Xanadu doing what it does best - bright, pure, modern chardonnay with depth, detail and serious concentration. White peach and citrus meet struck flint, saline tang and a creamy leesy texture. It's tense, taut and super refined, with heaps of joy to be found in the details. This would comfortably be in the top 10 chardonnays under $50 in the country.

Why do we love this wine?
Made from the revered Gingin clone, hand-picked fruit was whole bunch pressed, fermented in French oak (25% new), then left on lees for nine months with no malo (read: it's got texture without any of the flabbiness). Astoundingly zingy acid, a hint of sea spray and energetic spice, balanced by a creamy texture and pulpy orchard fruit. It’s all white pear, grapefruit, nectarine and flint on the nose, with a saline, oyster-shell sorta feeling adding tension. No heavy-handed winemaking here - just precision, poise and beautifully handled fruit. Drink now or cellar a few for the future. Either way, this is a steal.
