A chlorophyllic rim frames this luminous, pale straw-tinted wine. Enticing aromas of Golden Delicious apple, ripe kiwi, and fresh peach unfold gracefully with each swirl. On the palate, the wine is succulent and elevated, revealing layers of bright lemon, crisp pear, and subtle lemongrass. Its scintillating energy dances across the palate, culminating in a lingering, sophisticated finish.

	Wine Spectator
91 points	Complex and delicious, highlighting the fresh peach, apricot and pineapple flavors up front, plus notes of honey, buttery shortbread, salted caramel and grilled lemon. Lemon verbena, vetiver and nutmeg details grow on the finish, where all of the flavors gain extra momentum. Drink now through 2037.
	Robert Parker
94 points	On the nose, the 2023 Chardonnay George Menini Estate features alluring aromas of golden apples, honeycomb, cashews and jasmine. The medium-bodied palate balances a satiny texture and concentrated, honeyed flavors with a crescendo of fresh acidity, and it has a long, energetic finish. It will benefit from a few years in the cellar.
	James Suckling
97 points	Bold fruit flavors are backed by great acidity in this full-bodied but super well-balanced wine. Poached pears, golden apples, quince, kiwis and subtle toasted oak. With 6.5 grams per liter acidity, the texture is bracing and vivid, pulling the flavors along for a lingering finish.
