Gold hue. Ripe cantaloupe, star fruit, Bosc pear, white flowers, and wet stone on the nose. Buttered popcorn and creme brûlée on the palate. Medium minus acidity. Full-bodied white that pairs well with pecan-crusted halibut, asparagus wrapped in prosciutto with a white truffle butter drizzle, and couscous topped with fresh thyme and gruyere. #merryvale #chardonnay #chardonnaywine #newworldwines #hydevineyard #hydevineyardchardonnay #carneros #calichard #malolactic #foodandwine #chardsohard — 4 years ago

New Tasmanian wine brand- Tolpuddle AUD 55; #coalriver #tasmania ; shows how new fashioned cold climate chardonnay has moved; #dexterity ; muted chardonnay as with Chablis but without the milky #malolactic aromas; lots of non mainstream chardonnay adjuncts which make it taste compact and coiled; second time tasted; nice to see smoke and herbs instead of peach and sweetness; 13%. — 9 years ago
