Starborough Family Estate Chardonnay 2023 (6x750ml)

We have great admiration for Starborough's small but perfectly formed portfolio and this 2023 Chardonnay release is another banger from this proven performer. Sam Kim's glowing review sums up this wine perfectly - it's wonderfully complex and inviting, with a richly textured palate displaying excellent weight and persistency. Aged in oak barrels, this is proper, full-bodied, concentrated chardonnay that is brimming with hallmark characters of ripe citrus, hazelnut and toasty oak. We know you won't be disappointed.

Tasting note

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit: "Wonderfully complex and inviting, the wine shows golden peach, citrus peel, vanilla, hazelnut and brioche aromas, leading to a richly textured palate displaying excellent weight and persistency. Harmonious and flavoursome, offering terrific drinking."

Stephen Wong: "Musky, slightly reductive nose with a whiff of smoky oak. Modern, flinty reduction with grilled lemon fruit. On the weightier side, with good concentration throughout. Well-judged oak, fairly chewy phenolics and finishes savoury."
