Tasman Chardonnay, Abel 2020

Tasting Notes

The 2020 Tasman Chardonnay builds on the delicious 2019 vintage. Bright lemon colour in the glass. Very vibrant, with a flinty, lightly smoky nose of pure lime and tangerine fruit. The palate has great energy, a line of acid cutting through the bright, ripe fruit at the core. Layers of lemon, lime and tangerine come through. On the mid palate a creamy, succulent tone comes through, building breadth to the finish. This is moreish and approachable now, with salivating citrus and flinty tones greatly appealing and deftly judged. Long and fine, with youthful verve and cream balanced finely to the finish. Drink now, or over the next 5+ years.
