Aromas of banana, and creme brulee lead to a beautifully balanced palate whose notes of tropical fruit, orange cream, and brioche are set against a backdrop of prominent acidity before a long and complex finish. Rated 93/100 The Tasting Panel The 2024 Chardonnay is blended with 5% Chenin Blanc and aged for eight months in up to 15% new oak barrels. One of Finlayson's strongest cuvées, this has a delightful bouquet with lemon verbena, orange pith and light nectarine scents. Very well defined. The palate is well balanced with fine delineation, a pleasing minerality here with a composed, tropical-tinged finish. Very fine. Rated 91/100 Vinous Media This creamy white shows pastry, nutmeg, apricots and salted almonds on the nose. It’s full-bodied with a flinty, stony freshness at the end. Sustainable. Drink now.
