A gorgeous Chardonnay from the Solomon Hills Estate shows saline precision and pinpoint acids in the savoury, smoky citrus notes. Grilled lemon peel, green mangoes, and sea air salinity are apparent in the aromatics. The palate mirrors this with brilliant, smoky lemon peel intense minerality, laser-focused salinity, and cardamom spice.
