Brookland Valley Verse 1 Chardonnay
A full flavoured wine from the popular Margaret River region. It has a beautiful balance of sweet citrus fruits complemented by nougat and grilled nut flavours. Suits cheese, tapas and chicken dishes. 'When a company makes cutting-edge top-shelf wine the quality usually lows down to cheaper wines in its portfolio. We can taste - this deliciously in Verse 1 chardonnay, little sibling of the far more expensive Brookland Valley Chardonnay and relative of several other classy chardonnays (including Eileen Hardy Chardonnay) in the Accolade Wine Group. We bought our bottle for just under $13 during a recent visit to Wollongong and came back for seconds. What a delight it is - crisp, fresh, smoothly textured and packed with juicy, nectarine-like varietal flavour. It's widely distributed, often discounted, a safe bet every time.' - Sunday Canberra Times, 05 May 2013, by Chris Shanahan.
