TN: Xanadu Chardonnay 2018
Posted: Thu May 29, 2025 7:49 pm
G'day
This is the standard model with the black label, not the Reserve or Stevens Road.
Deep yellow in colour, heading towards golden. A nose of toasted grains, lemon butter, yellow peaches and cedar. The palate shows more creamy lemon butter, ripe peaches and some grilled nuts, but this is offset by sufficient freshening acid, so the wine is not overly textural or heavy, and finishes quite clean. Medium length.
Depending on how aged you like your chardonnay, this is in good shape (for my tastes anyway). There's a good balance of primary fruit and developed character.
Cheers
