From the Mountadam vineyard, established in 1972. I found this wine the more elegant of the current Mountadam chardonnay triptych. Finer in both aromatic allure and palate shape. The pure white peach, nectarine and grapefruit notes are all there along with soft spice, roasted cashews, stone and white flowers, but it's tighter, with fine acidity coiled like a spring and tension and drive to burn.

With masses of fresh pineapple and grapefruit character on the bold and crisp palate, this powerful chardonnay makes quite a serious statement, but is also well balanced, with a long, zesty finish. Drink now.
