2016 Felton Road Bannockburn Chardonnay

Brilliant very pale straw colour with a delicate greenish tinge around the edges and a watery hue. Lifted nectarine and fresh apricot aromas are overlaid by dried honey notes followed by citrusy nougat, subtle grapefruit and notions of mineral. Fresh and elegant with an understated richness and good concentration the palate features flavours of fleshy white peaches and ripe nectarines infused with nuances of dried honey and citrusy mineral. Also present is some light nougat and spice. There’s a delicate creaminess to the mouthfeel which will build incrementally with bottle age but for the time being the overall impression is one of vivid freshness – a vibrant thread of acidity running its course through the palate. Finishes with an aftertaste of white peaches, citrusy mineral, dried honey and light nougat.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc 13.5%

Other Reviews....
This has been nicely pinned back into an elegant and fresh style that focuses on bright stone fruits and lemon citrus. The palate has fleshy, pure fruit appeal with a nice spicy build of oak into the finish. Drink now. Screw cap.
