Fenian Chardonnay
A deep straw colour with a depth of promise that builds the anticipation. The wine is young and as such rightly shy and reticent. A bouquet of banana skin and melon in line with a generous ripening season. Wisps of citrus and biscuit, indications of length and structure. The palate is rich and generous. There is a wild puppy-like character to this wine with it’s youthful exuberance and cheekiness, aspects that will soften with age and time left alone to contemplate it’s future. It will create wonderful body over it’s long tight spine. In time there will be added creaminess and depth, with apple pie and lemon meringue complexity growing ever more prominent. Drink it now if you must, or wait and open your first bottle in 2-3 years where your greatest regret will have been not buying more. Enjoy it now as a weighty aperitif or drink with robust white meats and even curries in the years to come. Best enjoyed with close dear friends. Drink now to 8 years but certainly longer!
