De Bortoli Chardonnay Yarra Valley 1996

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AustraliaYarra Valley, Victoria, Australia Leesy, buttery, vanilla aromas with pear and apple fruit. On the palate it's rich and round with nutty, pear, apple, leesy flavours. Good acidity, quite long but some heat in the finish. Almost Meursault-like in structure even though barrel fermented in American oak. Tasted: 01 September 1997Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:
