MadFish Chardonnay 2006

By Gary Walsh

Madfish ChardonnayThis is a blend of 71% Margaret River and 29% Great Southern and as with most things MadFish it delivers quality in abundant quantity.

Can’t really decide what sort of fruit it smells like - maybe it’s melon or dried pear, certainly some citrus with a creamy nutty overtone and a bit of struck flint. Quite juicy and aromatic. Complex too. On the palate cool and fluid with a lovely even glossy texture and fine clean acidity. It has nutty savoury flavours combining with sweet melon and citrus fruits and a little spicy oak and makes you want to drink more quickly than you really should. Finishes long and clean with a tangy grapefruit and spice aftertaste. I’m a fan.
