Oakridge
Vineyard Series Henk Chardonnay
Yarra Valley, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
Very pale yellow. Lime and other citrus - leaner than I prefer in a good Chardonnay. Fermented in 500 litre puncheons (no overt oak influence) and extended lees contact. Great winemaking as we have come to expect from Dave Bicknell but riper fruit would be preferred from this taster. Good QPR.

I’m so glad to see selected Oakridge wines are now available in the U.S.
Very aromatic. Citrus, starfruit, gala apple, light mint, and a whiff of roasted nuts on the nose. Vibrant fruits with light spices on the softly textured palate. Long saline finish.
At a very reasonable price - lower than I paid in Australia if my memory serves right, this would be a good intro to the this fantastic winery.

N: lemon cream, apples, stone
P: very crisp w a hint of cream. Lemon and crisp apples, a bit of pepper shows up as well.
Lean but with a bit of leesy texture, and lots of acidity,
