Hilltops Region, NSW
$15
A few years in the bottle has allowed this chardy to mature and grow some muscle tone. Hit of ripe stone fruit through the nose. Peach, pear and strong apricot, smells a lot sweeter than it is. The oak gives a good balance to the fruit together with sensible acidity.
More careful oak on the tongue. Dead centre between sweet and dry makes it a great all-round food wine. Pieces of pineapple, apricot, peach and a twist of lime to balance the sweetness.
Nice introduction to grown up Chardonnay.
