91/100Rebecca Gibb,Vinous
The Marlborist's 2023 Chardonnay is smart and saline, with a piercing line of acidity running through its textural core. This has a barrel-fermented style that provides toasted nut flavors alongside the grapefruit-like apple fruit notes. It is a shade more delicate than medium-bodied, with an element of richness on the mid-palate alongside delicate pastry notes pointing to extended lees aging. Thoughtfully constructed, this relatively new producer is forging a growing reputation.
