And it's a very impressive wine. Fine, aromatic, coiled tight for the most part but then long and thrilling through the finish. There's some matchsticky funk and some smoky, toasty oak - but the main ingreident is a brilliant burst of melon and nectarine-like fruit. It needs another 12 months (at least) in the bottle for the mid-palate to flesh out - but this is a tip top chardonnay from the Wirra Wirra team.
