Felton Road Bannockburn Chardonnay 2025 15yo Palate: Crisp oak and hintsPure grapefruit zest, citrus, stonefruit kernel, a hint of roasted nuts, all bound in enlivening acid. The satisfying palate weight carries the acid completely without effort; it just shrugs it off. Very clean, already showing some length, which will no doubt build gracefully.
