Screw cap. 100% Chardonnay from Clare Valley (66%) and Margaret River (34%). The medium-high intensity nose offers lovely oak-infused aromas of buttery, vanillin, and sweet oak spice that sits a top of poached apple, pear, and hints of pineapple and ripe tropical fruit. The weighty, medium-full bodied palate has buttery, lemon curd, ripe apple, sweet oak vanillin, and tropical fruit flavours with a twist of honey. Some spiciness on the mid-palate, along with fresh, juicy acidity. Buttery and flinty with a tinge of caramel lingers on the chalky textured finish, with very good length.
A nice blend from Clare Valley & Margaret River. It has a fairly broad texture but remains delicate at the same time. Nice slightly cheesy note with the sweet citrus and stone fruit. Great value Aussie Chard that straddles nicely between the lean style and the big oaky numbers.

Punches like a burgundy four times the price in my opinion. Oaky, toasty, tropical fruits and flinty. I've bought two cases.
