In recent times, Atlas has emerged as one South Australia's most exciting wine producers. The project of Adam Barton and Amy Lane, Atlas consistently deliver impressive examples of Clare Valley and surrounding region's hero varietals. This 2023 Atlas Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is made from grapes grown at the Hill Smith vineyard at Woodside in the Adelaide Hills. A product of a near-perfect vintage, this opens with vibrant and lifted aromas of citrus, white peach and fig notes. The palate is elegant with flavours of ripe nectarine and pink grapefruit supported by subtle almond, flinty stone and creamy lees characters with hints of toasty oak. Another delicious Adelaide Hills Chardonnay, this has loads of appeal in the short to medium term.
