Rockcliffe Nautica Chardonnay
This intensely complex wine is rich in stone fruit, citrus and melon. The creamy texture is perfectly integrated with the sweet oak and natural acidity which leaves a lasting impression on the palate.
Xanadu Stevens Road Chardonnay
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey
Mountadam Marble Hill Chardonnay
Light yellow, youthful looking. Lovely complex nose, superbly harmonised fruit, oak and other inputs. Rich but fine palate; tidy and tight, delicate yet rich and concentrated. Impressive wine. If anything it errs on the pristine, squeaky-clean side. Very good length and balance. Power and finesse.
Leeuwin Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
A concentrated dark fruit spectrum with an abundance of ripe blackcurrants, cherries and a hint of cassis. Coffee bean, dark chocolate and black olives lie beneath. Subtle dustiness combines with a seductive violet lift, enhancing the varietal fragrance and increasing complexity. A dense and layered palate with incredible texture. The generosity of the palate is carefully laced with a fine and structural acid line. Dark cherries and currants weave through smokey and mocha notes, finishing with long tactile tannins.
Louis Moreau Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons
Domaine Jean Defaix Chablis 1er Cru 'Les Lys'
A fresh acidity with a very pretty mineral structure.
Domaine Jean Defaix Chablis 1er 'Les Vaillons'
Green gold in colour, almond and fresh butter nose, full and supple palate, this wine is the ladies' favourite.
Domaine des Carlines Tremoulettes Chardonnay
Yellow with green reflects. A dominance of mineraity, wet stones, brioche and a slight and a harmonious maturation.
By Farr Chardonnay
Gary Farr is still one of Victoria's true Chardonnay maestro's and his Chardonnay By Farr is another example. Taken from the original By Farr vineyard, this is a clearly a wine of true clarity and finesse. Flavours of melon and hints of spice with wonderful oak integration mean this wine is simply delicious upon release, but handle some careful medium-term cellaring.
