Cannibal Creek Chardonnay 2003

Description

Acidity and balance set this wine off. The bouquet is rich with aromas of fresh peach and caramelized pear enhanced with French oak, adding subtle vanilla and cashew characters. The palate is full and rounded which makes for an excellent Chardonnay.

Reviews

• “...balances winemaking craft with good chardonnay fruit very well. It has melon, peach and cashew aromas touched by creamy lees influence and a hint of burnt match. Smooth in the mouth, it retains intensity and real richness of flavour without sacrificing freshness and zip." 94/100

  James Halliday - Australian Wine Companion 2006
• “…is very good…rich, creamy, buttery and multilayered, it’s one for lovers of big hedonistic chardonnays.”
