The new label for Water Wheel has been received with mixed reactions by consumers. Having conveyed feedback to winemaker Peter Cumming, he responded by stating that he would not be averse to changing the label back again! No comment from us, but what about the wine? This years Water Wheel Chardonnay is very typical. The sample we tasted had only recently being bottled and we expect the wine to develop over the next twelve months. Bright straw colour. The nose displays aroma of spice, melon and peach showing typical ripe Chardonnay varietal character. Mouth filling palate with creamy texture - flavours of spice, melon, peach and tropical fruit. Definitely a fruit driven style. Nutty back palate flavours followed by a long aftertaste of spice, melon and peach.
