Rapaura Springs Bouldevines Vineyard Omaka Valley Chardonnay 2023 $40 
With gold medals and 5-star ratings up the wahzoo (technical term) this roasty, toasty bottle of peachy perfection will absolutely bring the grins to any occasion. Crafted to contain a balance of creamy complexity, it deftly works nougat notes with flinty, struck-match magic, and super-sippable, oaky, barrel-fermented characters from a hefty 30% new oak component. Grown in the Omaka Valley, the Bouldevines vineyard contributes fresh, textural, grilled grapefruit goodness which pings the tastebuds back to attention and adds to its excellent length of flavour. Impressive.
