Forrest Chardonnay 2024 matanzas-creek The harvest seldom begins before

The harvest seldom begins before October and continues for at least eight to ten weeks

The wine has a complex nose with aromas of exotic tropical fruit (think guava) with distinctively floral notes and some musk stick characters

as they were more susceptible to disease and so helped to indicate when the vineyard needed treating

Not only was it a fabulous vintage to begin with

spice and rose petal open first

Forrest Chardonnay 2024 matanzas-creek The harvest seldom begins beforeRipe, pure fruited, fresh and varietal bouquet with layers of white fleshed fruits and citrus then a seam of baking wood spice and crumbled stone earth smoke. Lots of weight and satin creaminess leading to flavours of stone and tree fruits, grapefruit and wood spice. Delicious, fresh and new with best drinking from mid 2026 through 2030.
