Spires Chardonnay 2002

Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaA very attractive light lees, mineral nose streaked with pear, apple aromas and a touch of melon and butter. The flavour is ripe, round and juicy with more mineral, ripe apple, peach, and melon flavours with lime and orange butter on the finish. Well balanced with good acidity. Impressive styling and value for an inexpensive chardonnay and made better than many of its U.S. counterparts.Tasted: 23 July 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
