Astrolabe Wrekin Chardonnay 2020

David Walker Bell writes "A bright golden straw colour in the glass. The scent shows lemon, apricot, satsuma, peach, vanilla, pear, brioche and hazelnut. Medium bodied, with a line of saline acidity accenting the ripe fruit, but well balanced and framed by smoky oak, adding richness and depth. A tightness reflects the youthful stage of the wine – expect more relaxed development over the next few years. The finish is dry, with a chalky minerality and good persistence."

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Aromas and flavours of citrus and peach, baked apple and tangerine, a vanilla custard creamy quality and core of pure fruit with floral overtones. There’s a mineral quality than emerges as the wine opens up in glass along with a hint of white smoke from the oak. On the palate - a dry wine with a youthful acid line, flavours that mirror the bouquet and a fine oak and leesy quality."

The winery writes "Bright lemon juice, yellow-fleshed nectarine and beurre bosc pear, with fresh butter flavours and an oily finish."
