TN: Redgate WW Ullinger Reserve Chardonnay 2014
Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2020 8:49 pm
This is the Reserve chardonnay which sees more oak and winemaking work than the standard model.
Pale yellow in colour. Big and complex nose, with ripe yellow peaches and other stone fruits, a touch of citrus (grapefruit?), brioche and plenty of grilled nuts. The palate shows more of the fruits, now starting to show signs of development. The oak sits under this but still makes its presence felt, and there's fresh and cleansing acid leading to a full finish.
Pretty good now, and will hold for another couple of years.
