MATTHIASSON Linda Vista Chardonnay, Napa Valley Made from certified organic vines that grow on the Mathiasson estate in Napa, this wine pairs beautifully with lighter summer fare. Medium acidity is balanced by pleasant fleshiness, finishing very clean with a hint of minerality. A diversity of ripeness is created by using the traditional method of harvesting the fruit a number of different times during the ripening period, achieving complexity, completeness, and balance. The earlier harvests contribute acidity and minerality, and the later harvests contribute flesh and richness..

Estate dry-grown vines, planted '69. Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, wild-fermented in French oak (30% new), matured for 10 months. Bright & complex nose of blossom, stonefruit, candied figs & lemongrass with subtle background oak. Generosity of stonefruits flavours give fruit volume & weight to the palate. A ginger cream spice & texture lending weight with gentle vanillin oak & a fine tannin framework.

What a magnificent wine! A pioneer in the modern Australian Chardonnay stakes, the Vat 47 from the Hunter Valley has a silky bouquet of melon stone fruit and creamy oak that is followed by a palate of extraordinary balance and length. An absolute classic and will only get better with some medium term ageing.

This Chardonnay by Jones Rd is precise, intense and rippling with concentration and nerve. Aromas of hazelnut, nougat, pears, grapefruit and florals. The palate has a fine etched acidity with savoury, nutty flavours. A piercing and linear wine with restrained grapefruit flavour, finishing crisp and mouth-watering fresh.
