Chardonnay from the Macedon Ranges needs time, with the 13 release from Athletes of Wine really starting to hit its straps with mineral and youthful acidity now integrated with richer lees complexity and quality cool climate fruit.

The wine is a developed straw yellow in the glass with a flinty nose that shows piercing nectarine that's well backed by struck match and cashew.

The palate has precise acidity and a layered but full mouth feel. Stone fruits are well proportioned and lifted by wood smoke and spice, the finish is long and complex.

This wine has all the characteristics to have a long and rewarding life in the cellar.
