Pepperilly Estate Chardonnay 2012

Pepperilly Estate is 150m above sea level overlooking Bunbury and the Ferguson Valley in Western Australia. The vineyard was planted in 1999 on loam soils over granite.

I wasn't that fussed on the label. It doesn't have the jump off the shelf appeal.

The contents however are a different story. The words persistent, soft and delicate immediately spring to mind. This is a wine which lets the fruit sing. Nicely balanced, the characters of an attractive melony Chardonnay are captured. Some textural interest but a little more fruit punch would easily raise its status. Oak is in check without stealing the limelight.

A very good drop and decent value.
