What’s wrong with this picture?

There’s clearly not enough wine in my glass is what’s wrong with it 😂

A big thanks to Hirsch Hill in VIC’s Yarra Valley for sending over this 2017 Chardonnay for us to try. It barely lasted 2 seconds in our house before it ‘had’ to be consumed 😂

This Chardy was hand harvested and matured on lees for 6 months in French hogsheads (30% new). It retails for $25 and was crafted by winemaker Rob Dolan.

Here’s our notes on it:

It looks like sunshine ☀️ in the glass. Sweet orchard fruit and oak aromas rise from the glass while on the palate it’s crisp and fresh with a vibrant creamy texture. Think Granny Smith apples and nectarines with a bright citrus note that suggests this one will only improve further in the bottle. Yum!

This wine was sent to me as a sample, I was under no obligation to post about it.

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!
