Sourced from the Hill Smith Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills, this Camino Wine Co Chardonnay is a fruit-driven delight that calls for verandah chills on a warm afternoon.
It sees eight months in neutral French oak and that ensures the fruit is the hero. Aromas of small white field flowers are met by yellow grapefruit, lemony tang, sherbet and green apples on the stage. Tense through the core, lemon pith sticks to the mid-palate with lemon curd slowly making its presence known. A lithe creaminess pushes through to a long finish highlighted by a citrusy tang. The vibrance and energy are appealing and this will no doubt find a legion of fans.
