Sidewood Mappinga Chardonnay 2024
$45.00
A spotlessly clean and fragrant chardonnay with bright forward peach/lemon and melon-like aromas, spicy notes of ginger and cloves and fresh butter/vanilla oak. The palate begins with some intense fruit and pleasing reductive complexity, but then moves quickly into a flavour-stripped and highly acidulated phase that extends all the way to its austere, excessively acidic finish. Fruit is stripped out as the acid attacks the palate and clips its length in a fashion that is seen all too often in contemporary Australian chardonnay.
