Great 6 year old Chardonnay. Oak has developed the flavours and we have an beautiful wine. This is really good. The stock voyager wines live a bit of age. Great wine!

2015 Voyager Estate Chardonnay was a perfect pair with lobsters, given its buttery and citrus notes. The Margaret River Chardonnay was pale lemon in colour without any sediments. There were aromas of lemon zest, ripe pears, apples and blossoms, followed by vanilla, toast and butter. On the palate, the oaked Chardonnay was dry and full-bodied, with rounded creamy texture and medium level of balancing acidity. The long aftertaste resembled butter and tart au citron. The intense oak, malolactic and sur lie elements of this New World Chardonnay might not please all drinkers, and might seem a bit excessive when consumed alone, but it paired wonderfully with fresh Canadian lobsters.

40% new French oak, period unknown/unspecified. Nose of quartz, white flowers, citrus. This has malo and it shows on the palate, more rounded and smoother than the Broadvale – lime curd, lemon butter, almond meal, grapefruit segments. Good length and nice mid palate texture.

Qantas Winter Wine Festival (Town Hall, Sydney): Butter, slight toasted oak, served a little cool but I can still get some stone fruit out of this…More citrus on the palate but with plenty of butter and slight toasted nuts notes.

Another great voyager Chardonnay. They seem to need a few years to mellow and I suggest at least 5 but 10 is better.
