Delicious minerality on the palate. Refreshing and nice served cold. Good change from France and California. Offers another option with different character and flavor profile.

A year or so since I last tasted it, my notes are similar, except tonight I am more struck by leesy aromas, and also by a noticeable viscous texture. A very good Aussie Chardonnay, but not a great one.

Natural yeast, A Yarra Valley Cuvee for the Market. So a blend but then dropped down significantly in price. Linear but still with fruit. Some lees stirring

Colour is light straw/gold, very youthful. Nose shows citrus (lemon, grapefruit) a touch of fig and apricot. The palate is medium bodied, quite high in acid, citrus, stone fruit and a touch of oak. It is quite viscous without being heavy. I liked the wine but it is a good rather than great wine. The Single vineyard wines (Sexton, Tarraford) are a lot better though this is a pleasant wine at a reasonable price. I wonder if a few years in the cellar will help the acidity integrate?

Deceptively light straw in color with peachy apricot aroma leading to a slightly citrus tarty lemongrass which is heavier in body than expected by sight. More for the buttery oak drinker.
