2002 Xanadu Secession Unwooded Chardonnay

Bright pale straw colour. The nose is lifted, with strong varietal character emerging. Notes of melon, tropical fruit and white peach emerge. The palate has plenty of weight but shows a touch of coarseness that is an acceptable trade off given the depth of flavour. Clean finish with sufficient acidity for the short term. Long aftertaste of melon and tropical fruit.
