Description
The 2021 Fundamental Chardonnay may say ‘Central Coast’ on the label but, in reality, it was made from 100% Santa Barbara fruit this vintage. The nose is fine, lemony and elegant, leading to a fresh palate of pear and pithy, green apples. The texture is fine and rounded and the wine feels very pure. A refreshing note of tart apple lingers with a savoury twist on the rewarding finish.

Critics reviews
Made from 100% Santa Barbara fruit, this vintage. Fundamental is Joey Tensley’s range of quality, value wines, intended to’ over-deliver at every level’.
As tense as the white Rhône blend on the nose, that glorious creaminess and come-hither quality of California Chardonnay on the palate. It’s really charming and very good value.
Drink 2023 - 2026
The 2021 Fundamental Chardonnay features quince, apricot, green herbs and baker’s yeast scents. The medium-bodied palate balances savoury beeswax and apple character with bright, citrusy acidity and finishes with a touch of texture that will help this pair with dishes from pasta to chicken.
