Ravensworth Neighbourly Chardonnay

 Ravensworth seems to be a winery which goes from strength to strength. It certainly escaped the shadow of Clonakilla by now with its interesting and wide ranging wine making. The small batch 2021 Ravensworth  Neighbourly Chardonnay is curiously named, given the wine is a blend of Margaret River and Tumbarumba fruit. 

This wine has quite a golden colour for such a young wine. On the palate, the wine is more understated with an interesting and quite complex mix of flavours; lemon, grapefruit, apricot, lychee, even ginger. I thought this was quite an expensive Burgundy, yet at $25/bottle, this must be the bargain of the year. I recommend it highly.

Score: 92/+++
