From one of the shining lights among producers in the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the South of France comes this incredibly generous Chardonnay. Big rich stone fruit characters complimented by some textured malo mouth feel.

Olivier Leflaive was co-manager of Domaine Leflaive until 1994 before withdrawing to concentrate on his own venture which he started in 1985. Today the domaine produces wine from some 65 appellations with 85% of the production being white wine. One of Burgundys most respected producers the estate produces a number of domaine wines from its own vineyards alongside its range of negocé bottlings. This Chardonnay is a wine with a fine aromatic intensity of almond, hazelnut, apple and a nice balance between smoothness and freshness on the palate.

A perfect example why chardonnay has been one of Australia's most popular whites. This is a beautiful expression of the exquisite cool climate fruit from the Kyeema Vineyard. Peach and melon with good length.

Pristine grapefruit, green apple and white nectarine with complex notes of fennel. Restrained barrel-derived cinnamon and subtle struck-flint aromatics allude to the purity and intensity of this wine. Seamlessly structured, this single vineyard wine shows the distinctive features of the high altitude Johansen vineyard. After 18 months in the bottle, a backbone of citrus and refined texture leads to a long refreshing finish. A wine of both purity and power with intense length and flavour.

Hailing from the high-altitude region of Tumbarumba ensures this Chardonnay has intense fruit characters of peach and honeydew melon, while a small amount of malolactic fermentation has lead to a creamy palate.

The Hungerford Hill Classic wines are from the best regions of New South Wales. the wines showcase both their varietal and regional personality with clarity and intensity; they are versatile and compliment food.
