Chardonnay Bannockburn
-- Galloni: There's not a great deal of the 2020 Chardonnay Bannockburn, as yields hit a 10-year low due to poor flowering. However, with the ensuing cool season, it was a blessing not to be holding heavy crops. What's more, there's plentiful concentration here, really packing the intensity of fruit into a focused core. The ripe fruit is reminiscent of apple, elderflower and lightly cooked pineapple; there's a light almond character characteristic of high solids as well as time on lees in older neutral barrels. The finish has plenty of vigor, with firm acidity and grip on the finish. 92/100
