Mayfield 'Thomas' Chardonnay

Mayfield ‘Thomas’ Chardonnay 2022 is a layered, cool-climate Orange white, combining bright citrus and white stone fruit with creamy oak and a finely focused mineral finish. Part of Mayfield’s Premier Range, it balances generous texture with the brisk acidity that gives the wine its freshness, line and length.

Lemon zest and honeysuckle aromas mingle with subtle green bean, toasted nuts and balanced oak. White peach unfolds on the palate alongside beeswax, cinnamon and apricot-kernel nuances, while creamy, bread-crust notes add savoury depth. The texture broadens through the middle before refreshing acidity draws the flavours into a tight, lingering finish.

Suggested pairings include pan-seared scallops, roast chicken with lemon butter or crab linguine. Its creamy texture would complement richer sauces, while the citrus and mineral freshness make mushroom risotto another appealing match. Enjoy now for its balance of fruit and savoury complexity, or cellar for further development; Mayfield indicates potential beyond ten years.
