2003 Hollick Coonawarra Reserve Chardonnay

This wine has been 100% barrel fermented and was followed by a partial malolactic ferment. Bright, straw colour with pale straw hue. The nose displays good complexity, with aroma of hazelnut, biscuit and toast evident. The acid forms a distinct backbone to the wine, supported by lemon and grapefruit flavours with a hint of cashew and spicy oak in the background. The wine is relatively simple, with three layers emerging that are not integrated – oak, acid and lemon.
