Wine: Three chardonnays to keep track of

Need a nice drop to round out your long weekend? Yvonne Lorkin has three chardonnays up for the task.

Neudorf Moutere Chardonnay 2014
This wine is crisp, clean and buoyant. Head-shakingly good. If you have someone you need to impress right now, buy this.
Price: $64

Esk Valley Hawkes Bay Chardonnay 2014
Sourced from sites including Esk River and Dartmoor Valley and expertly coaxed into bottle by winemaker Gordon Russell, this is an outstanding example for less than $20.
Price: $19.99

Maude Central Otago Chardonnay 2014
Possibly the best example from the region I've ever tried. Precise acidity, combined with a creamy, nutty texture, make this seriously hard to put down.
Price: $35
