Bailey Wine Co Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2017

Tim Bailey is smashing out some smart wines at the moment. His little side project has grown to become his #1 winemaking venture. Small operators like these are the ones worth latching onto.


The fruit is sourced from the Adelaide Hills, a site that was recently razed in the bushfire disaster which strangled the region.

Splash this beauty in your glass and it cruises through the mouth. A touch of melted butter tucks in behind figs, licks of caramel and barbecued white stone fruit. There's wonderful width with soft feels plus well balanced acidity finishing with a lemon sherbet tang. I could be convinced to add another point. A super buy for the money, oh yeah, fill me up.

Drink to five years.
