What to Expect

Chardonnay is America's most popular grape and with good reason. Made in styles that range from steely, mineral laced wines with crisp green apple fruit to wines that are buttery, rich, and laden with tropical fruits, there is a Chardonnay that will appeal to every palate. Chardonnay is most closely associated with France's Burgundy region and California's Northern valleys though it has proven successful around the globe.

Winemakers Notes

Koonunga Hill whites are well proportioned wines with distinctive primary fruit characters and good levels of intensity. They are a step up from the Rawson's Retreat whites with more concentration and fruit power. The Chardonnay which is matured for several months in small French oak barriques is a richer style with plenty of varietal definition and creamy flavors. The Koonunga Hill Chardonnay is considered by many to be amongst Australia's best value whites delivering wine quality at an affordable pricepoint.

Editorial Reviews

Rating: 88/100 - As reviewed by Wine & Spirits Magazine on 10/09 Clean, fresh apple and pear flavors fill this with varietally true chardonnay character. It ends on a touch of smoke, lending refinement. For grilled salmon.

Relying on the Penfolds quality name -I purchased a bottle of Penfolds Koonunga Hill Chardonnay 2007 at Woolworths Liquor in Griffith, NSW, Australia, 15 October 2009. Reduced to $10.97. The nose evoked honey but on the palate was a displeasing after taste similar to honey when over heated.
I summise that the wine in this bottle is oxidised - a lingering after taste of fermented straw with acidic overtones..

Brilliant pale straw in color. Aromas of lifted citrus blossom and freshly crushed nectarine are surrounded by subtle spicy nougat oak. A full flavored wine with fruit - rockmelon andyellow peach - at the fore. A vanilla and maltcreaminess deepens the palate, and providescomplexity. Subtle citrus like acid ensures arefreshing finish.
