1998 Water Wheel Chardonnay

Yet a another flavour filled wine from Peter Cumming, which judiciously uses a touch of American oak to create a flavour highlight, whilst allowing the fruit to move through the palate and aftertaste. Bright pale straw colour. Lifted nose, with aromas of citrus, grapefruit and melon in the background. Excellent palate flavour - generous ripe fruit - melon and peach are counter pointed by some refreshing citrus background flavour followed by a trace of cashew and butterscotch. Clean crisp acidity with very long cashew, melon aftertaste. Outstanding value. Cellar 3-5 years.
