Oakridge Chardonnay 2006

Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia. Chardonnay. 13%. Screwcap. Approx $A28

Dripping with acidity and brimming with flavour, this is an excellent chardonnay. Smokey, promising and scented with grilled pineapple, nuts and a hint of something wild. It evokes nectarine and almond meal but the main sensation is a shocking juiciness and a terrific focus and purity.

Excellent.
94.
Now - 2011.

Classmates: Howard Park Chardonnay, Bindi Composition.
