About the wine
Tasting notes
The best chardonnays from Tumbarumba exhibit a complex array of characters while still being elegant and true to its origins. This particular chardonnay was hand selected and fermented in 100% brand new 500ltr French puncheons. It is well supported by an abundance of aromatics such as lemon tart, fresh apple, and a touch of melon. Its palate leaves nothing to be desired with a crisp acid structure, touch of buttery characters and savoury body. Over time the minerality, synonymous with Tumbarumba will shine through as it continues to support this wine as it ages.

Chardonnay
One of the most planted, versatile and popular white varieties in the world. As a stand alone grape, Chardonnay is not the most interesting, nor complex varietal out there...but in the hands of a great winemaker it can be turned into one of the world's greatest pleasures! From the best bubbles of Champagne, to the lean, unoaked and mineral expressions of Chablis and the opulent, oaked and complex whites of Burgundy, Chardonnay is responsible for making some of the greatest expressions of white wine on the planet.
