Oats and raw nits on the nose with a nice lime element. The palette is full of searing acidity that while bold, is balanced and refined. There is a nice tangerine note on the full bodied finish.
Australia, Victoria, Port Phillip, Mornington Peninsula
This is a very savoury wine which has a lot more toasty oak that previous vintages but there is still that citrus poking through and a massive palette structure with lime and biting minerals.
Ripe stone fruits with a lick of tropicals and a nutty oak. The palette is powerful with dense minerals and great structure imparted from the acid with a lemon finish.
Australia, South Australia, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide Hills
A funky nose of struck match and toasty oak with a broad, silky palette that has an oily texture and is full of savoury pickling spices and rich fruit. Good wine, but expensive.
Australia, Western Australia, South West Australia, Geographe Ferguson Valley
Funky nose of rich cashew and florals with a fantastic structure with big grippy acidity and a delicate mineral finish. This is great value Chardonnay.
