XanaduReserve Chardonnay 2015
About this product
The bouquet of this elegant yet powerful Chardonnay offers pristine fruit aromas of fresh pears, grapefruit and loquats with underlying hints of oatmeal, flint and beeswax adding complexity. The 2015 reserve will most certainly reward with careful cellaring.

Another outstanding chardonnay from winemaker Glenn Goodall and Xanadu. All barrel- fermented with 30% new French oak. It’s allowed to ferment naturally and then the lees stirred but there is no malolactic fermentation. Remarkably complex aromas of minerals and light char with a slice of grapefruit. The palate has a savoury creaminess with a nice, tight minerally core. Keen and edgy through to a long finish. Super wine.

This vintage is infused with a spicy allure that lends another dimension to tension of grapefruit and white peach. The concentration of Margaret River chardonnay is juxtaposed with taut malic acidity and the bright, fragrant allure of exquisitely ripe fruit. High-tensile precision meets power and depth...
