West Cape Howe Chardonnay 2016

Western Australia, AustraliaThis mildly wooded chardonnay comes from various plots around Western Australia, specifically from Albany, Mount Barker and Frankland. You can feel the sun-drenched fruit in the shoulders of the palate, though it's held smartly in check by a stream of acidity and bracket of stones on the sides. Ripe pear, yellow apple, orange blossom and lemon verbena quickly yield to a slick of lees and slight wood spice to the shorter finish.Tasted: 09 July 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
