Delving into the “Ready To Drink Report,” an eight year old chardonnay is always a lucky dip, nevertheless, the Premium from Bass Phillip doesn’t disappoint.
Clear gold colour, passion fruit and vanilla oak on the nose, hint of burnt sugar. On the palate, vanillan oak and sweet citrus flavours, orange, lemon zest acidity on the long finish.
Noted when last tasted in 2014, the balance of oak and fruit. As a mature wine the oak has added character to every glass.

Double decanted before heading to the restaurant. Long Diam in Fevre Grand Crus, no hint of Premox at five years of age. May be a different result at eight. Crystal clear pour in the tasting glass. This is saline, seashells and salt spray. Great juice for oysters, white anchovies, fresh prawns, squid or calamari, any dish served with a liberal squeeze of fresh lemon will be an excellent pair. Refreshingly pure to its origins, neither the fruit presence of Les Preuses nor the stoney minerality of Les Clos, this shares the middle ground. Neither the weight of the best vintages, nor the length set aside, this is still an enjoyable glass of underlying quality.

Spritz from the open front and centre before inky black fruit one hour open. Effervescent across the tongue.
