If you want a big, bold, oaky Chardonnay, but don't want to remortgage your home for a bottle of Meursault, go for this fantastic alternative from Villa Maria! - Nick Gorton, OWC
My star white of 2023. I'm partial to Chardonnay however it's made but this full-bodied example from Villa Maria has incredible focused flavours of melon, lemon curd and grilled nuts and a dash of vanillin and spice. Delicious! - Tim Bradley, OWC
