April 9, 2023 - Med yellow. Med+ ripe lemon, yellow apple, white flowers, brioche, vanilla, well integrated new oak spice. Dry, with med+ acidity and high but well balanced alcohol (14%) and a rounded, creamy texture. Great balance between the lemon curd and white peach notes and the stony minerals on the palate. Med+ bodied, w/ med+ to pronounced flavor intensity and length. Still drinking beautifully and has several years left to go thanks to the screw cap. New World in style but vey well restrained and nervy. Great QPR at under $35. Really liked it and I am not a big fan of naked chardonnay.

September 7, 2020 - Terroir-istes International - Australia-Margaret River Chardonnay (Overgaauw Wine Estate): (Tasted Blind): An initial restraint, the wine with swirling shows minerals, fresh chalk, apple and chopped stone. A fresh, vibrant entry, the wine has a fresh, horizontal acidity without the depth or complexity of previous wines.
Subtle and elegant with lime, white peach and pear flavours, nut, and toast. Finishes quite short. -

Rich oak notes but still with lots of lemon freshness. Very much a warmer climate Chardonnay but the Margaret river freshness keeping things in check. Rich and yummy.
