Thamnus Chardonnay 2024

The 2024 vintage is aromatically intricate, opening with pithy lime, fresh pear and jasmine, layered with beeswax, crème fraîche, oatmeal and a fine seam of smoky hazelnut. A grating of nutmeg adds further savoury detail. On the palate, the entry is supple and finely textured, quickly enlivened by vivid, invigorating acidity. Generous in flavour yet never weighty, it carries impressive depth within a taut, energetic frame. Saline sea-spray notes bring definition and drive, leading to a long, composed finish marked by freshness, quiet smoky complexity and lingering mineral tension.
