Hello to the changing face of O'Leary Walker Wines. Their new Seasonal Release range of wines has been hitting the mark deluxe. This Chardonnay is their first white to fall under this banner and Chardy lovers have plenty of reasons to rejoice.
Sourced from 25-year-old Adelaide Hills vines, the finished wine spent three months in French oak, 60% of which was new.
Lean, fresh white fleshed stonefruit sits at the core with scents of white flowers and oyster shells to jazz things up. A pleasurable citrus drive pushes through with delicacy as a lacy creaminess tucks in behind. Softly spiced, green apple skin lands on close only to beat the drum for this summer vibe Chardonnay. A terrific first release, I could be persuaded into another point.
