June 22, 2015 - Singapore Airlines - Business & Lounges; 6/22/2015-6/26/2015 (Sydney, Singapore, Frankfurt): {screwcap, 13%} Mild grapefruit aromas pumped up with vanilla oak. The palate is soft, tannin-free, with minimal structure and low-key grapefruit and nougat flavours. All the weight seems to derive from the oak, but as it’s not overdone, it balances the other structural aspects of this light/medium-bodied, rather short-finishing, but dry, basic commercial chardonnay. Drink up.

June 8, 2015 - Interesting wine. If you want to see a choice example of how far Aussie chardonnay has come from the stereotype oak-bomb, this is it. So lean and light and fresh and tight. Hugh acidity and minerality. The oak is evident slightly on the nose and very well integrated on the palate. Very gentle approach indeed. At the moment this wine is too young. Give it another 3-5 years and this will be fabulous. $25
