Oakridge Hazeldene Vineyard Chardonnay
Bright, vivid straw appearance with an electric white hue. A lively lift of white flowers, citrus fruits and kaffir lime leaf aromas captivate from the first sniff. Complexing notes of nougat and flint complement the intense aromas of freshly cut under-ripe peach and hints of white pepper. The palate exudes a glossy and energetic entry with vibrant bright lemon rind and stone fruit characters, reminiscent of a fresh baked lemon tart. The palate maintains a lot of tension and mineral notes - a tightly coiled spring waiting to unfurl and reveal over time. Crunchy acidity and texture keep things in line as flavours are carried along on a glass-like train. An excellent example of modern contemporary chardonnay from the upper Yarra Valley, true to the site and cool season.
