Penfolds Max?s Chardonnay is a tribute to former Chief Winemaker Max Schubert 1948-1975, a legend in Penfolds' history. Max?s constant pursuit of excellence paved the way for those who followed in his footsteps and also allowed the status and heritage of Penfolds to grow. Max?s Chardonnay continues the evolution of the Penfolds white wine program, drawing inspiration from the legacy and spirit of the many wine trials of Max Schubert, a wine-making legend. The 2018 vintage is light straw in colour. Subtle stone fruits, yellow peach, nectarine and faint wafts of citrus are foremost. Upon further swirling, hints of floral notes shine through, Jasmine and white rose petal perfume and a touch of ginger spice. Oak is present but in balance and offers a nutty/ nougat nuance. Fresh flavours of stone fruit, citrus and grapefruit pith. Creamy, cr?me Brulee-like French oak lingers with a lovely flinty, wet stone/chalky acid line, closing out with an intriguing waxy phenolic finish. 93 Points - Wine EnthusiastIn typical Penfolds style, this is a glossy Chardonnay with balance, finesse and nary a hair out of place. Lifted aromas of pineapple rind, grapefruit, white flower blossoms, and flint morph towards cashew and toasted brioche as the wine warms in the glass. It?s slick in texture with a lovely line of acidity. The oak is present but supportive. A saline note lingers on the finish.
