Tasting - Oxford Landing Estates Chardonnay

Name: Oxford Landing Estates Chardonnay
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: South Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2013
Price: $10

Winery Review: A tantalizingly creamy yet crisp, clean Chardonnay. Pale golden straw in colour with vibrant green hues, it has lifted aromas of freshly cut white peaches, citrus and honeydew melon. Underlying hints of nougat, nutmeg and cinnamon spice add complexity to the bouquet.

My Review:
This is a rare Chardonnay that I found to be worth my time. The smell was crisp with peaches, lemon, and melon dominating my nose. The taste was similar with the peaches and melon but also with green apple and a bit lighter on the citrus component. It was a bit silky on the finish and was of short-medium length. I enjoyed the complexity in this Chardonnay and was relieved to find one that I would want to try again.
