Domain Road Defiance Central Otago Chardonnay 2020 ($32) 
Slow down, find a spot, indicate and do your best parallel park because you’re going to want to have all your wheels pointing forward to take on this absolute stunner of a chardonnay. Intense grapefruit, roast peach, pineapple and caramelised, toasty oak notes roar out of the glass and combine with rich, ripe tropicality on the palate, clean, zesty acidity and a long, creamy, almond and cashew finish. It has incredible energy and tension and cellaring potential til 2030.
