Another good example of Penfolds lifting their white wine making programme closer to their established Red Programme. This Chardonnay walks the line between lean and luscious and does it well. Struck match and stone fruit. From the cool climate area of Tumbarumba NSW a proven area for quality Chardonnay. Drink now or cellar for up to 3 years.

Pale lemon in colour. Quite citric on nose and palate. Restrained. Minerality-almost salty - finishes dry. Certainly in the new wave crisp restrained style dialling back the ripe fruit and vanillan Oak. No Dolly Parton here!!

Like the buttered fruit of Meursault meets the saltiness of Chablis

From the cool climate of Tumbarumba, this wine reminds me of a beautiful Chablis with refreshing acidity and mineral qualities - tart white peach, lemon peel, and wet stone. Very elegant, balanced Chardonnay

2013 vintage. Spiced grapefruit. Oak is balanced. Acidity bit harsh. Very young. Good long finish. Surprisingly good indeed.
