2015 Karriview Vineyard Chardonnay

Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Aromas of citrus and ripe nectarine overlay some lightly toasted biscuity oak, gun flint and spice. Light and subtlety creamed in the mouth the palate is elegantly flavoured with ripe nectarine, citrus and subtle lemon butter characters over lightly toasted biscuity oak and infusions of gun flint. Dry crisp finish with an aftertaste of ripe nectarine, citrus, subtle lemon butter, light toasty oak, biscuit and spice.
Cellar 4-5 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews….
Intriguing bouquet; oatmeal, dry biscuit, spicy oak and a whiff of lanolin. The varietal character is subtle, but the overall impression is unequivocally of complex, cool-climate chardonnay. The palate echoes this theme, with slinky texture, perfectly integrated acidity and length of flavour the defining elements. Grapefruit and just-ripe white peach may be the best descriptors of the primary fruit input, just for the record. Top drawer. Drink by 2027.
