  Bought from the vineyard a few years ago. This is the 3rd tier of VF chardonnay but you will pay more for less. My rating takes price into account. A couple of years in the bottle has rounded out the mouth feel nicely and the length is good with a balance of fruit and perhaps a whiff of oak? This is not your oaked style chardonnay, but a more modern style. Great value.

  Light gold colour. Buttery nose, apples, mandarins. Quite rich palate, citrus, plenty of acidity, well balanced, medium length. Drinking well now.

  In a very good space. Enough fruit richness accompanied by really good balance. Am not sure if further cellaring is needed.

  Terroir-istes International - Australia-Margaret River Chardonnay (Overgaauw Wine Estate): (Tasted Blind):An inviting aroma of apples in a wicker basket, complemented by lemon, light toast, mineral and hint of dry chalk. I also picked up a pineapple or perhaps dried pineapple nunance. Fairly intense, plenty of juicy white apple flesh and lemon travel sweets are in the mid-palate, supported by a fresh acidity. A lighter-bodied, airy style yet with some oatmeal notes, the wine flows along with those more exotic tones coming to the back palate of lemon drop or curd and dried pineapple. It's not that serious, perhaps a little simple and short, but I found it an enjoyable light style that does what it says on the tin.

  Tasted from a Riedel white burgundy glass which did actually make quite a difference making the wine less acidic and more rounded.
  Pale gold in colour and glossy. Pale edge. Buttery, honeyed nose. This comes over on the palate with hints of citrus and grapefruit on the aftertaste. Good finish. I give the wine 92 points as I got this with 10% off at Majestic at £10.99. I consider this exceptional value for money.
