Kylie Minogue, Chardonnay, Margaret River, Australia, 2019

This pale gold Margaret River Chardonnay (sourced from Howard Park) is sweet with melon and citrus fruits, but has something plant-fresh to it, too, like spring hyacinths perfuming a sunlit room in spring. The aromas are clean, lively and mouthwatering. The wine is very fresh and vivid in the mouth – a big splash of lemon, apple and grapefruit over a lightly creamy base. A graduated warmth fills out the middle palate though the wine is not markedly textured; the finish is clean, bright and moreish.
