The Agnes Chardonnay, Crystallum 2025

Broader, more generous in its aromas than the Clay Shales – red apples, grapefruit, more stone fruit. An intimation of allspice and caramel character, too, woven well into the fruit. A palate layered with flavour and a satin texture, all underpinned by a real energy zipping through from start to finish. The balance is great. Simultaneously inviting and cerebral. 2026-2030.
