Sato La Ferme de Sato Le Chant du Vent Chardonnay 2022 (12 Bottles) Central Otago, NZ

Sato La Ferme de Sato Le Chant du Vent 2022 Chardonnay from Central Otago is a seriously characterful, high-impact white, weaving ripe stone fruit, flinty minerality and a touch of oxidative complexity into a seamless, textural whole that feels both wild and beautifully composed in the glass. Aromatically you’re looking at cooked apple, mandarin, quince and ripe nectarine, layered with croissant, fresh-baked bread, almond, cheese rind and savoury tea-leaf notes, all dusted with white pepper and gentle florals.
