Hutton Reserve Chardonnay 2025

These Hutton wines always offer so much. There’s power and intensity with great fruit concentration, but they are impeccably crafted, so there’s a degree of elegance and stylishness about them. This one comes from the very good ’25 vintage in Margaret River. It opens with some nice subtle savoury, lemony quince paste notes on the nose, and just a faint hint of struck match complexity. The palate is powerful and controlled by excellent oak and integration, with a distinctive chalky, savoury combination and a precise acidity holding the line through to a very long finish.
