Madfish ChardonnayIf you work on the assumption that both are reasonable possibilities, this is exactly the sort of wine I would grab from the bottlo if I had twenty bucks in my pocket and a bunch of friends who were passively interested in wine. It’s excellent juice and it delivers a whole bucket load of fruity action - but with a bit of style. For the record it’s 94% Chardonnay and 6% Sauvignon Blanc. I guessed it also had a bit of Semillon in the mix but I have been known to get these things wrong every now and then…..

Fresh and punchy with grapefruit, white peach, passionfruit and some grassy overtones. On the palate it’s juicy and clean with an explosion of citrus, stonefruit and some tropical fruit with just a touch of green herb adding complexity. It has a sweet fruit, well judged mouthwatering crisp acidity to balance and excellent length of flavour. Crowd pleasing and highly refreshing. Love it.
