Toolangi Chardonnay 2011

Made at Yering Station and Oakridge, the fruit was hand picked from Toolangi's Dixon Creek vineyard. The wine was aged in old French oak barriques.

A good Chardonnay which captures stone fruit and nutty characters with some gentle oak present too. Respectable palate weight but the fruit just doesn't wash through as much as I'd like. A greasy like texture lingers.

Have with roasted or barbequed chicken.
