    Hugh Hamilton 2020 The Scally Wag Chardonnay (McLaren Vale)

    There's a lot of winemaking here. The nose is fruity, with peach and strawberry notes backed by ginger, cream and some oak influence. There's also what seems like a good lick of sulfur. In the mouth, acidity is angular and feels forced. The wine has a slippery texture and plenty of zippy fruit but again, the sulfur shows and the finish is a touch sour.
