South Australia, AustraliaI tasted this 14 months ago, and it is pretty much the same delicious screwcap-sealed chardonnay today, namely a 70/30 Padthaway/Clare Valley blend. The nose is bright with fresh citrus, lees, and vanilla. The palate is packed with juicy nectarine and bolstered by lightly toasted cashew through the backside. Only a tiny portion of new French oak broadens the palate without quashing the fruit, leaving the finish clean and elegant. At $19, I repeat, back up the truck. It is in 49 BCL stores.Tasted: 31 October 2023Tasted by: Prices:

South Australia, AustraliaAustralian chardonnay has come a long way, as evidenced by this 70/30 Padthaway/Clare Valley blend. Bright and aromatic with fresh lemon, vanilla, and cream on the nose. The palate is vibrant with peach, nectarine, and lightly toasted cashew streaked with lemon pith acidity. Only a tiny portion of new French oak is used to broaden the palate without quashing the fruit, leaving the finish clean and elegant. Halibut would be a good match. At $19, I say back up the truck.Tasted: 05 November 2022Tasted by: Prices:
