Chapel Hill Chardonnay Unoaked 2003

The 2007 Unwooded Chardonnay is a lively wine that displays multiple fruit layers such as passion fruit, honey dew & white peach. It is full flavored with a lingering citrus blossom finish. Chapel Hill’s Unwooded Chardonnay is produced from fruit grown in South Australia’s most acclaimed Chardonnay regions: McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Adelaide Hills. These three regions exemplify Chardonnay’s invigorating flavour spectrum. They each contribute distinctive varietal flavours that mingle effortlessly to culminate in a wine of delicious texture and sublime depth of flavour. read more...46% McLaren Vale, 27% Coonawarra, 27% Adelaide Hills. Review: Unwooded Chardonnay is a bit like a chip without salt or a sausage without sauce. It tastes as if something is missing but not here. Ignore the grape variety and the lack of wood, this is a white in its own right suitable for those occasions when you'd drink Verdelho or Sauvignon Blanc. There's plenty of aroma and flavour, tempered and restrained by all encompassing acidity. - Greg Duncan Powell, Sydney Morning Herald 'Uncorked' Magazine, Sydney, 2006    (hide)
