Tasting Notes:

Pale Yellow and Green in colour. Powerful and complex yet with amazing purity. The nose initially has upfront fruit aromas of melon, nectarine and fig complimented by secondary aromatics of nutty oak. Lovely citrus flavours with an array of fruits including, grapefruit, nectarine and melon developing into a secondary layer of flavours of fig, honey, cedary oak and lees. Tight and focused on the finish with great depth of flavour and a lovely touch of natural fruit acidity. Enjoy with Roast chicken or roast pork with a buttery applesauce.

Technical:

The 2016 vintage Chardonnay has come up extremely well and perhaps this vintage will go down as one of the Barossa’s finest. Grapes were harvested in individual batches to select only the finest quality fruit and minimize losses due to the small tonnes grown. The picking occurred in early March from a single vineyard located in the Barossa. The wine was crushed and fermented with 20% of the blend receiving oak fermentation with frequent lees stirring. The two parcels were blended together and received oak maturation in second and third use French oak barrels then select barrels were blended together and bottled to ensure only the finest wine made the final blend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Honest John from Summer, the right time for a good white. The weather Gods stamped VITAL on the Exodus BV Chardy when they decided that one week of heatwave conditions wasn't quite enough. With the nominated wine,a reliable frig. and a fine glass the edge is shaved off the temp! Good tip Ross.

Rated 4 out of 5 by teresa from Very good chardonnay I've bought a number of Colonial reds over the last 5 years-the whites are also very good value

Rated 4 out of 5 by Peter Hook from Another good 'modern' chardonnay While I prefer the Songlines Chardonnay, this is similarly priced and almost as good. Modern style of chardonnay, good 'clean' fruit, very light oak treatment, excellent as an apperitif or with food. If you are looking for a wine that may persuade the anything-but-chardonnay brigade, this will do the trick.
