OakridgeBarkala Ridge Vineyard Chardonnay
About this product
Dave Bicknell and Oakridge together can be considered Australia's most important Chardonnay producers. Now a single vineyard wine in it's own right, the Barkala Ridge is clarity and definition personified. Struck match with a small hint of butterscotch complexity and a fine, long, concentrated finish revealing white peach and grapefruit flavours. Structured to age gracefully.

This is the finest sub-$40 chardonnay I have ever tasted. Mr Chardonnay, Dave Bicknell, has conjured new levels of purity, definition and focus of grapefruit, lemon and white peach, flowing into a very long finish that glistens with minerality and taut acid tension. Underlying nuances of complexing charcuterie and fine almond French oak never distract from unadulterated and seamless fruit purity.
