Community Tasting Note

  July 10, 2019 - This is one helluva Chardonnay.
  
  The winemaker is Severine Logan originating from France and has been making wines with Watershed for around 12 years.
  
  Best Chardonnay I have tasted in a long time and you would be forgiven for thinking it is unoaked because the oak is so well integrated with the fruit it just gives that first impression.
  I would have to describe the Oak as new and slightly smokey.
  
  The nose is a lovely blend of light oak and citrus fruits.
  
  Beautifully balanced wine, light golden in colour , a certain softness on the tongue, slight acid and slight tannin.
  A lovely well rounded finish .
  The integration of the oak and fruit is just outstanding what else can I say.
  I just kept coming back for more.
  
  Note : This vineyard was purchased by Vasse Felix about a year or so ago.
  
  They needed more fruit to expand their sales and at the time were going to let Watershed keep producing under the Watershed label, but recent events indicate that we may well be looking at the last few vintages under the Watershed label.
