Nugan Estate
Single Vineyard Drover's Hut Chardonnay
Riverina, Big Rivers, New South Wales, Australia
Wow! Super crisp and fresh. Lemon, green apple, salted caramel, iron, white flowers. Has aged very gracefully as well. Insane value.

It you think you don't like Chardonnays, try ones outside of the U.S. They are generally smoother and crisper than the American ones I've tried. This 2012 vintage of Nugan Chardonnay was delicious. It was fresh and a perfect beginning to a delicious meal.

Very impressive & delicious / over delivered for price $12! plenty of richness here even though I believe it has not seen [much] oak (perhaps neutral?), zippy zesty lemon curd, yellow apple, yellow pear, pineapple, vanilla, some sort of mild exotic [subtle] spice - honeyed and decadent for the style. Balanced and delightful thru finish - go find some!

Unoaked Chardonnay. Smells of sweet green fruit. Tastes of lemon, green apple, and pear. Lots of Vanilla/pineapple at the finish, especially as warming. Crazy good for this price!

Pineapple and fruit and then as it warms up vanilla caramel with a touch of strawberry. Wow. Super good.
