Witchmount Estate Olivia's Paddock Chardonnay 2012

From the Sunbury region in Victoria which is only half an hour's drive from Melbourne's CBD, this Chardonnay was a very pleasant surprise.

Having partially gone through malo, the wine was 100% fermented in new French oak. The oak has done its thing nicely. Golden straw in appearance, creamy and buttery on the nose, these characters flow seamlessly on to a palate which throws up some grapefruit too.

Some delicious primary fruit and a length which goes on and on.

A most enjoyable wine and one which is easy to sip at. I'd happily buy it, that's for sure.
