Sure, there's citrus and white stone fruit, but it's mostly creamed, nutty lees and spicy oak with a touch of moreish sulphides. Lovely and refreshing acidity is a key element, too. While it is still very much in its primary phase, more time in bottle with reward those who do just that.

Dexter Chardonnay is known for combining fruit purity, natural acidity, careful oak use and strong vineyard expression, resulting in wines that are refined, textured and built to age. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2120\" data-end=\"2523\"\u003eFor the 2024 Chardonnay, fruit was picked in the last week of February from Chardonnay clones P58, I10V5, Bernard 96 and 277. The fruit was whole bunch pressed, then fermented in 500 litre French oak puncheons, with 20% new oak, 30% second use oak and 50% older oak. The wine spent 11 months on lees before bottling, giving it texture, shape and savoury complexity. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"7p6opv\" data-start=\"2525\" data-end=\"2548\"\u003eCellaring Potential\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2550\" data-end=\"2889\"\u003eDexter Wines Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay 2024 is drinking beautifully now for its freshness and precision, but it will reward careful cellaring.
