The sun shines in this bottle of Hunter Valley Chard. Ripe, but vibrant aromas of peach, melon and pineapple juice are underpinned by flintier, toastier, creamier ones. There's a big lift of somewhat shrill acidity on the palate that cuts through the luscious texture. The stone fruit is complemented by lemon-citrusy flavors, with a nougat and toast note towards the long finish.
Score: 92 points -- Christina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast, 2024
