14% ABV. Pale gold appearance. Lemon peel, apple, melon, peach, vanilla, blossom on the nose. Medium acidity, tannin, and length on the palate. Can definitely detect oak in the wine but it’s not overpowering. Not my preferred type of chard, wish it had more acidity. Good daily crusher, nothing to write home about.

Sulfurous nose at the start. Very tart, almost sour, apple, lemon, and some melon. Nice flavor and mouthfeel. Good value and pairs well with food, but needs some time to breathe before it really shows up.

Nose of lemon, oak, vanilla and pineapple. All in nice balance. Smooth entry with a nice integration of fruit and oak — which is not over powering. There’s even a bit of acidity. Very nice AU Chardonnay and the QPR at $14 is hard to beat

Not quite the mellow oaked chardonnay I was expecting - fuller bodied stone fruits and acidity that might be a challenge without food. Very good nonetheless and a fine match for Thai food. Restrained oak on nose and palate.

Strong whiff of struck match on opening, this blows off. With air you get crystallised lemon, ripe stone fruits, and a breeze of nettles. There's a stoniness to this wine throughout. Very much in the current fashionable style of Chardonnay, the finish has plenty of ooomph and acid verve without leaving a toffee oak note. Very good and excellent value.

Minerals, smoke and well dosed oak in the bouquet. Same on the palate, tasty, lime, beautiful and focused acidity and a good length. Beautiful wine.

Good QPR. A reductive note I wasn’t expecting, and good balance.

Nice chardonnay, creamy and subtle oak, with good peach and citrus fruit. Quite fine.

Fruit and oak apparent on attractive nose. Palate is balanced with a good finish. Acid will sustain a good many years yet.

Bit of an oak bomb. Plenty of fruit too, but a bit out of whack.

A little too much oak in the nose. Good body, lots of peach and stone fruit, medium finish, medium acid
