From the renowned Adelaide Hills, the 2018 Penfolds Max’s Chardonnay captures the essence of its cool-climate origin with remarkable finesse. Scoring 93 points, this wine presents a vibrant bouquet of ripe stone fruits, complemented by a delicate touch of citrus zest and a whisper of oak. On the palate, it balances creamy texture with crisp acidity, making it refreshingly lively and perfectly structured. Ideal for a casual summer gathering or paired with grilled seafood, this Chardonnay not only showcases exceptional quality but also offers outstanding value, delivering far more than its price might suggest.
