Exactly the style of Chardonnay that I enjoy drinking. It's fine & precise, yet holds so much power and concentration. Matured in 20% new French oak for 10 months. The wood is in harmony perfectly with the fruit, with linear acidity. Nougat, nutty, melon, citrus & white grilled nectarine. Burgundian in style, this reminded me of drinking Picardy Chardonnay from Pemberton. Ageing potential here too, and very fairly priced.

Modern Australian Chardonnay Tasting (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): Pretty citrus fruit, a little orange, mandarin, lemon, a touch of sherbet and the merest whisper of bacon fat. Nice nose. juicy and the palate is a reflection of the nose, textured burr tugs at the mid and back palate. Medium plus length finishes with non-intrusive alcohol warmth. Nice.

Good palate richness and length with the acid holding it without going over the top.
