product description
Palliser Estate Chardonnay 2020
Reviews
Decanter: Gold & 95/100. Restrained nose displaying aromas of ripe peach fruit with a creamy edge and smoky undertones. Quite rich on the palate, full body with expansive ripe fruit.
Bob Campbell, MW (The Real Review): 94/100. Palliser perfection: Attractively-scented chardonnay with lemon curd, grapefruit, oyster-shell and nutty oak flavours. The wine has an appealing purity, refreshing acidity and a lingering finish.
Winestate Magazine: 98/100. Unfolding well, this rich, elegant, hand-picked wine was fermented and lees-aged for 10 months in French oak casks. Fragrant, with slightly smoky aromas, it is fleshy, with deep, ripe stonefruit flavours, finely balanced toasty oak adding complexity, fresh acidity and a slightly creamy, persistent finish.
Tasting note
Pale lemon, clear and bright. Aromas of freshly baked tarte tatin, citrus blossom, nectarine, vanilla pod, nougat and hazelnut. Rounded and creamy on the palate with a nutty, biscuity core, the wine is rich, dense and opulent. Peaches and oatmeal biscuits describe the mid-palate, the densely packed palate yielding layers of complexity with time in the glass. Long, lush and superbly concentrated, the wine has a lacy, gentle acidity that delivers a long, fresh finish.
