2022 Lark Hill Estate Chardonnay - Dried pineapple rings, golden apple and peach melba. A touch of Limoncello and browned butter. Golden fruit beckons in some plum and kumquat, with Manuka honey and praline added to the mix. Acidity soars in the cool vintage, with classy oak showing its lavish side. It’s a wine that all Chardonnay lovers seek out, with the oomph of curves and some creamy polenta tones. Drink now with a pool of cheesy polenta and meatballs. - 91 points, Shanteh Wale
