Taylor Made
Chardonnay 2016
This Chardonnay is well balanced with citrus and white peach characters, creamy undertones from oak maturation and a long satisfying finish.
| Region | Adelaide Hills |
|---|---|
| Colour | At release, the wine has a vibrant straw colour with a subtle green tinge to the edge. |
| Nose | There are fresh citrus and stone fruit aromas with hints of tropical fruit. A subtle flinty, gun smoke character combines well with sweet spice and savoury oak from the oak maturation. |
| Palate | This is a wine with great delicacy showcasing white stone-fruit flavours along with attractive subtle brioche character. The barrel fermentation brings a delightful creaminess to the mid-palate. Overall, the wine is beautifully balanced with well integrated oak acting in support of the fruit and the tight acidity ensuring freshness. The length is superb and the wine finishes with enjoyable persistence. |
| Oak Maturation | French oak was employed for its ability to deliver subtle savoury nut characters and a degree of elegance and length to the palate. After a short period maturing in oak, the wine was blended, filtered and bottled. |
| Cellaring Notes | Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a short term under ideal conditions. |
