Angullong Chardonnay 2022

This is a second expression of Angullong chardonnay from the Orange region and the 2022 vintage.  The first expression is Angullong’s “Fossil Hill” chardonnay, which is reviewed here.  This wine, a little cheaper than its sibling at $24, is a good wine as well.  It has saline with lemon and nutty aromas. The palate has a delicate acid line, a Chablis like oyster shell character and modest alcohol at 12.5.  This minerally wine will suit current drinking.  Rating: Good (★★★☆, 89 points).
