Matured for 9 months in French oak, 26% new, the 2012 Thomas Hyland Chardonnay has fresh peach, grapefruit and lemon zest notes with an undercurrent of fresh cream and bread. Medium-bodied, crisp, tight, clean and concentrated, it has a long and zesty finish. Drinking nicely now, it should keep to 2016.
