DESCRIPTION
The first wines that we ever made were released under this label, so these wines are very special to us. Now, years later, we still take pride in selecting our fruit from the same vineyards and producing wines that are consistently full of flavour and made so they are ready to drink now.
"A $10 chardonnay that tastes like chardonnay isn’t always easy to find but here’s one that ticks all the boxes. Aromas of melon, nectarine, pear and apple tick the first box and fresh, pure flavours of honeydew melon, stonefruit, lemon and lime juice tick the next. Leesy, yeasty notes add complexity. There’s a nice weight on the palate, but bright acid keeps if fresh rather than flabby. Add a zesty, refreshing finish to the wine and you’ve got a good-value wine that’s easy drinking.

"Only McWilliam's Hanwood comes close to this Chardonnay for value. From the Riverina, this shows sweet melon & a hint of citrus on the palate has those slate-like, steely characters one finds in more expensive Chardonnays."
Jeff Collerson, The Daily Telegraph
"Full of stewed melon aromas and a mouthful of melon pulp and citric flavours with a clean finish." Winestate Magazine
"This Riverina Chardonnay is clean, fresh and well made, with clear, melony flavours." Peter Forrestal Quaff 2011

The FOUNDSTONE Unoaked Chardonnay is an appealing fruit driven wine that has aromas of candied lemon, lime and honeydew melon. The palate is a fusion of sweet citrus peardrop and ripe melon flavours that continue to a long and zesty finish. .
FOOD MATCH The wine is best enjoyed with lightly fried fish, a new season vegetable stack or just as an aperitif!
CELLARING This wine has been made to drink now but will cellar for 2 years.
