Editorial Reviews for Jacob's Creek Chardonnay Barossa Valley
Very citrussy on the nose with lemon and lime notes and some interesting, starchy green cactus leaf/aloe leaf. There are some hints of oak with perhaps a touch of fennel, but this is rather high toned and fruit driven, if atypical. Rather light bodied on entry, this gains weight in the mouth and shows fine inner mouth tension and a lovely, sleek structure supporting ripe but not weighty fruit. There’s more green on the palate which is not unpleasant, but is unusual in that the citrus fruits are backed with that soft, vegetal tone. The finish is lovely with sour fruits, underlying wood spices and a nice pop of minerality that refreshes the palate. I love the mouth feel here, mostly taut but covered with a gauze of fruit. 88pts
User Reviews for Jacob's Creek Chardonnay Barossa Valley
Add your reviewPale yellow. Initially dry, somewhat flinty, tropical fruits topped off with a limey citrus finish. The oak is very subtle, coming through only with a slight hint of smokiness. An easy drinking refreshing white wine.
2007 Jacob's Creek/Orlando Chardonnay Reserve. Decent Aussie chardonnay although a bit heavy on the oak. More on the earthy side, not as acidic or fruity as most Australian chards. May be due to the age of this bottle, probably past its prime.
External Reviews for Jacob's Creek Chardonnay Barossa Valley
A cool moist winter continued into Spring and was followed by fine weather during flowering. This resulted in higher than expected yields and a slightly late harvest. A warm dry Summer ensured disease free Chardonnay grapes, and fine weather during the harvest season allowed grapes to ripen under ideal conditions. These factors produced Chardonnay grapes with rich and fresh varietal flavours.
Ripe pineapple flavors fill this simple, straightforward, juicy white. Itrsquo;s clean and balanced, and not sweet. A great buy at $8.

Jacob's Creek has recently dialed back the use of oak and malolactic fermentation in their chardonnay—hallelujah!—and this allows the fruit to shine through, and it does. It's packed with so many fruit flavors—white peaches, nectarines, honeydews, and cantaloupes—that one might easily assume it's a semi-sweet wine, but it's not; it's entirely dry, with a crisp, zesty, citrus-driven finish.
Attractive flavors of tropical fruit with the subtle taste of toasty oak. A wine to be enjoyed either on its own or a wide range of dishes.
Pear, peach and apple flavors dominate this medium-bodied wine. Agreeable but not exciting, with a modest finish. Drink now, while itrsquo;s fresh.

Winemaker's Notes:
Colour: Pale straw with green hues. Bouquet: Attractive aromas of citrus and ripe melon fruits with hints of toasty oak. Palate: Fresh varietal flavours of rockmelon and lemon citrus with attractive creamy nuances, subtle oak and soft acidity that leads to a well balanced fruit driven finish.
