I was expecting more acidity. It was nice and fruity. Golden delicious apples, overripe bartlet pair, cantaloupe, shiro plums that have gone a bit over. Would have to reach for non-fruit notes. Lacks complexity. Comes off a bit sweet, but I really think that is due to the lack of vibrant acidity tricking my pallet. It's quaffable, and would be a great Chardonnay to trick a Rombauer Chard drinker into trying an unoaked version of the varietal, but leaves something to be desired in depth. But hey, it's Barossa Chardonnay. If you want top-notch Aussie Chard, look to Victoria, in the Macedon ranges, where Bindi makes mind-alteringly fantastic Chardonnay. But you're going to have to pay for excellence.
