"Persimmon and papaya, along with spice, nuts and butter, perhaps a little aniseed floating about. It’s soft and gently buttery, but has a core of fresh acidity, a subtle chalkiness, and a saline savoury finish of fair length. Interesting style, and a bit different from the Yarra Valley mainstream too"
One of the most planted, versatile and popular white varieties in the world. As a stand alone grape, Chardonnay is not the most interesting, nor complex varietal out there...but in the hands of a great winemaker it can be turned into one of the world's greatest pleasures! From the best bubbles of Champagne, to the lean, unoaked and mineral expressions of Chablis and the opulent, oaked and complex whites of Burgundy, Chardonnay is responsible for making some of the greatest expressions of white wine on the planet.
