Characteristics
Description
Yellow, pale yellow with greenish tint Ripe nectarine, melon, peach and pineapple fruit characters with nutty, creamy butterscotch characters. The malo complexity is balanced by the flinty, citrus finish. Rich depth of stone fruit flavours are balanced by the fresh citrus and melon. The fruit integrates with the creamy oak to achieve a complex and full mouth feel with persistent flavours and a very long, crisp, refreshing finish.

Expert Review
This full-bodied chardonnay will complement both chicken and creamy pasta dishes while the crisp citrus finish makes a great accompaniment to seafood. Our 2007 chardonnay is another great example of my favourite - a complex, balanced yet fresh style. The French oak fermentation has added complexity without dulling the wine while the crisp citrus characters keeps the palate refreshed. This is what chardonnay is meant to taste like.
