Church Road McDonald Series Chardonnay

The palate is powerful yet finely balanced, opening with ripe stonefruit, lemon peel, and white peach. The fruit feels concentrated but not heavy, carried by a line of fresh, natural acidity that keeps the wine energetic and poised. A layer of roasted nuts, subtle creaminess, and a hint of struck‑flint reduction adds savoury complexity through the mid‑palate, giving the wine both texture and quiet tension. The oak is supportive rather than dominant, contributing gentle spice and a soft, rounded edge. The finish is long, mineral, and elegantly structured, tapering with notes of citrus pith, peach skin, and warm cashew, leaving an impression of freshness and refined power.
