2020 Stella Bella Luminosa Margaret River Chardonnay

Tasting: The Stella Bella 2020 Luminosa Chardonnay from Margaret River is an elegant and complex wine, displaying a pale straw color with green hues. Its vibrant bouquet reveals aromas of citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, intertwined with stone fruits such as white peach and nectarine, along with a subtle minerality and hints of flint. The palate mirrors these aromas, showcasing a balanced blend of citrus and stone fruits complemented by a creamy texture from lees stirring and malolactic fermentation. Subtle oak notes add nuances of vanilla and toast, while refreshing acidity provides vibrancy and length. The medium to full-bodied wine finishes with a persistent minerality and a touch of oak spice, making it an excellent match for seafood, poultry, creamy pastas, and a variety of cheeses. Enjoyable now, this Chardonnay also has the potential to age gracefully for 5-7 years.
