Flowstone Queen of the Earth Chardonnay 2019

Appearance: white-gold, with pale green highlights.

Aroma: Complex aromas of honey baked beurre bosc pears, stonefruit, roasted hazelnuts, brioche, hints of honeysuckle and creamy lees notes. A beautifully complex expression of Margaret River Chardonnay

Palate: Dense, focussed and intense - perfectly aligning the fruit and oak. The powerful fruit flavours are introspective at the moment, but still hold the palate together. Some years will see them blossom. The oak, lees contact and mlf give additional complexity. There is great texture and length, and a chalky acid to finish. The palate has great power and focus, but is not fat or heavy. This is a serious Chardonnay of substance and moment.
