This chardonnay from Bannockburn near Geelong is an immensely complex wine, crafted in that true Burgundian fashion; making it one of the best Chardonnays in the country. Tropical and stone fruit aromas meld with some creamy oak aromatics, divulging a palate littered with sensational layers of densely interesting and delicious flavours. The oak plays only a supporting role, with a core of fresh citrus acids, peach, marzipan, honeysuckle, and slashes of spicy oak complementing that nutty, vanillin complexity to fill that buttered toast palate. Those ripe stone fruit, nougat, almond paste and saline acidity flavours make for a creamy back of the palate, allowing this wine to be suited to a wide range of foods. A truly exquisite wine!...
