Colour: Light straw.
Nose: Subtle stone fruits, yellow peach, nectarine and faint wafts of citrus are foremost. Upon further swirling, hints of floral notes shine through, Jasmine and white rose petal perfume, and a touch of Ginger spice. Oak is present but in balance and offering a nutty/nougat nuance.
Palate: Fresh flavours of stone fruit, citrus and grapefruit pith. Creamy, creme brulee-like French oak lingers with a lovely flinty, wet stone/chalky acid line, closing out with an intriguing waxy phenolic finish.

In typical Penfolds style, this is a glossy Chardonnay, with balance, finesse, and nary a hair out of place. Lifted aromas of pineapple rind, grapefruit, white flower blossoms, and flint morph towards cashew and toasted brioche as the wine warms in the glass. It's slick in texture, with a lovely line of acidity. The oak is present but supportive. A saline note lingers on the finish. Drink now–2027.
