2013 Reserve Bin A Adelaide Hills Chardonnay

The sanctioned marriage of Adelaide Hills and Chardonnay … in union with barrel fermentation/French oak … converts any sceptic … into a true believer!

The 2013 Reserve Bin A Chardonnay opens with tons of apricot, mango and lemon curd notes infused with touches of sulfides plus some cashew and toast accents.

Showing great intensity and elegance on the medium-bodied frame, it is enlivened by racy acid through the long, mineral-laced finish.
