A cool-climate Chardonnay from Penfolds sourced from Tumbarumba in the Snowy Mountains and blended with Adelaide Hills and Tasmania — lively and precise, with cucumber, lime, and a phenolic grip that drives wonderful length and freshness.
Tasting Notes
Freshly sliced cucumber and lime citrus flavours hover over a soft, succulent acid underpinning. A tight phenolic grip induces wonderful length and drive to the finish. Three different Chardonnay expressions — texture, acidity, and tightness — coalesce into a wine of real precision and cool-climate freshness. 95 points from James Halliday.
