Chardonnay

Last night in Tassie
A beautiful treat on the beach

Not a Pinot noir but a Chardonnay

1998 Freycinet Vineyard Chardonnay, East Coast, Tas nicely developed with flavours of buttered corn, creamy texture and marked by a fresh cool climate acidity, which keeps this wine alive and also going for a few more years. Forward, but delicious to drink now.

Brûléed, lemon, round and balanced. Aged beautifully and we got very lucky with the corks during this tasting! What a treat.

Showcases the lovely terroir of this region quite nicely.

Visited vineyard with Hamish. Totally delicious

A little more melow aromatic-wise than one may forecast but this wine is looking super, super youthful. There is a slight spice and toast to the new peering through. Bright aromas of peach, candied grapefruit, cashew and watermelon chupa chup are the most present initially. Texturally quite creamy, crisp acid and quite decent length too.
