De Bortoli Yarra Valley Estate Chardonnay 2006
By Gary Walsh
Brevity is the soul of wit…apparently.
Aromas of lemon, nectarine, a little honeycomb, dirt floor and light spicy oak. On the palate light to medium bodied with lemon, nectarine, mineral, earth and subtle clove spice oak. There are some savoury characters but they complement rather than overwhelm the crystalline purity of fruit. It feels light and airy and has a fresh dry slightly chalky texture with a firm spine of acid running the length of the palate. Finishes dry and very long. A fine boned beauty.
