2021 Mandala Wines 'The Sands' Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay
95pts Sam Kim "Gorgeously elegant and stylish, the wine shows nectarine, lemon peel, nougat, oatmeal and cashew characters on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate delivering excellent focus and drive. Wonderfully harmonious and structured with a persistent engaging finish. At its best: now to 2029."
94pts Ned Goodwin MW "A mid-weighted live wire, pixelated and fine. A tensile skein of maritime salinity drives the flavours from fore to aft, as much as it suppresses them into a weld of mineral-clad tension. Cantaloupe, white fig, nectarine, cashew, Parmesan and nougatine accents. Classy stuff, driving on all cylinders. 2021-2028."
