A simple summation of this chardonnay from Water Wheel out of Central Victoria is: complex, driven by fruit, but let me elaborate: aromas of stone fruits like apricot and peach meld with hints of honeycomb, toasty oak and spicy butterscotch, while the palate is filled with more of those stone fruit flavours surrounded by hints of honeysuckle, further buttery notes, an enhancing toastiness, and spice. A rounded, creamy mouthfeel allows for a dry finish with balanced acidity. Try this wine at xmas lunch with your lobster served with a lemon caper sauce, or prawn cocktails.
