Leura Park Estate Chardonnay 2018

About this Wine

Estate grown. This fine elegant wine displays creamy peach and honey dew melon characteristics, subtle toasty oak and a fresh and zesty citrus finish. Enjoy now in its youth or cellar for 4-6 years for concentrated honeysuckle flavours to develop.

"94 points" "I like this. A whiff of gunflint mineral reduction soon disperses to reveal ripe apricot, nectarine and white peach notes. The thrust of fruit and parry of nicely layered oak is impressive. Nothing is exaggerated: neither on the heavy side, nor on the side of abstemiousness. This plays the contemporary card of mineral energy, while appeasing the crowd in need of flavour and nourishment. Very well done." Ned Goodwin MW, Halliday Wine Companion '21

"(...). Quite moreish!" "Medium to light yellow hue with a nutty, peach-nectar aroma which has some attractive herbal overtones. There's a hint of pineapple on the palate, the body is medium to full and it has an appetising touch of chew on the finish, the acidity soft. Quite moreish!" Huon Hooke, The Real Review, Sept '19
