Mid Lemon in colour. Vanilla oak aromas - peachy and rich. On the palate yellow peach and cream with Medium plus intensity. This style was popular in Australia in the 80’s and 90’s - think Rosemount Roxburgh and coined the style as “Dolly Parton” for obvious reasons. For lovers of full bodied Chardonnay. I hadn’t had a Chardonnay like this for a while and it was enjoyable. Ripe fruit, a touch too much oak and a great viscous texture on the palate. One of the 1001 Wines.

2014. Love the complexity of this unfiltered Chardonnay. Presents big and buttery but there is a herbaceous oaky quality to the wine as well.

Not a big Chardonnay drinker, but this is very very good. Great to crack open and drink outdoors.
