As soon as I ripped the top off this, a captivating perfume filled the room. A swirl of the glass revealed nougat, biscuity and peach aromas with even the faintest touch of oyster shell. There was plenty of creamy vanillin oak in the mix too. The oak was not over the top as less new oak is used in this wine and it complimented the fruit well.
These characters washed onto the palate nicely coating the mouth. Yum! Good stone fruit and some citrus flavours kicked in here too all delivering great length. A very easy drinking Chardonnay. Moreish!
The wine demonstrates really good value for the asking price and it's definitely worth popping onto your shopping list.
