Commune of Buttons, 'Basket Town' Chardonnay 2022
Place: Adelaide Hills, Australia
Grape: Chardonnay
Vibe: Delightful
Just another banging Aussie Chardy. Is there something in the water over there? Fruit from three different vineyards and a long, slow ripening period thanks to a cooler season, followed by eight months on the lees and a further three in tank. Cashews and honey leap from the glass, with preserved lemon and ripe apple bringing the fruit side of things. So cooling and fresh, and the finish goes on for days. This is proper. ABV: 12.5%
