Sonnet Blanc Chardonnay 2022 750ml New Release
What others are saying
James Suckling
Aromas of poached peaches, lemon curd, almonds and honeysuckle. Highly tense and juicy on the palate, with a medium to full body and a steady backbone of acidity.
Long and persistent.
Stephen Wong - Real Review
Subtle layers of complex baked apple, floral and mineral notes wait in the wings, showing innate depth and very good length. Give this another year or two in bottle to relax and enjoy
Cameron Couglas MS
a fine line of mineral and salinity with a leesy frame and plenty of acidity for bite and freshness. A satin, almost silky touch with distinctive phenolics and power, little to no oak. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2029
