Other Reviews….
I like saying Walgalu Country, and I like drinking this wine. The Munda Wines story is one to follow and appreciate as much as its wines. This is superfine with lemon balm and blossom plus a touch of mouth-watering sulphides, not too much, just right. At first, it seems soft and giving, then the acidity kicks in, teasing the palate to a long, resounding finish. A delicious drink. Drink by 2030.

Jane Faulkner – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion

Intense aromas of lemon pith, quince, nectarine, mandarin zest, yellow blossom, pink grapefruit, with a mineral-salty sharp edge cutting through. A vibrant, yet seductive/velvet acidity, with a strong mid palate presence as you are almost sucking into a Meyer lemon or freshly shucked oyster. It’s a Chardonnay with a well-defined “six-pack” and the athletic silhouette of an Olympic 100m runner. A runner that keeps the momentum until the very end of the sprint, with an incredibly savoury/nutty, citrusy, juicy aftertaste. If this is the Walgalu Country (Tumbarumba) speaking, then I’m all ears. Enjoy with grilled abalone, Smoky Bay oysters, or razor fish. Drink: now- 2030.
