Ashton Hills Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay 2022

Wine Review Online : 92 Points

(3/2026) Though there are plenty of coastal elements, this wine maintains a delicate tension throughout. Aromas of saltwater, flint, and toast give way to lemon zest. The palate is characterized by restraint, with flavors of green apple, grapefruit, and finger lime giving glimpses of this site’s sun exposure contrasted against its cool, wet climate, all carrying to crushed stone and minerals on the spry finish. The Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay gently marries reductive winemaking with bright, zippy fruit for a nervy – but not austere – crowd-pleaser. Enjoy now and over the next five years.
