2024 “Heroes”Chardonnay
$65.00
The bouquet features white nectarine, quince, beeswax and a fleck of grilled nuts. On the palate, there’s real weight and intensity, with a fine thread of acidity keeping it taut and very well balanced. Only 90 dozen made of this distinctive wine.” – Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion, 02 December 2025
