Sandalford, Prendiville Reserve, 2011

Tasting: Western Australia Chardonnay

Pale gold; no green glints, for once. Slightly varnishy, must-like scents; not wholly attractive. Intense, searching palate with lots of acidity rather dominating the fruit profile.

Tasting: Western Australia Chardonnay

Deep savoury nose, pungent, full and savoury on the palate. Put it back in the cellar quickly, this is a deep intense wine throwing out toasted pineapple, creme caramel and bbq white peaches with peach licquor. Needs time, and will certainly be a stunning wine in 5 years time, buy to invest, a classic.

Tasting: Western Australia Chardonnay

Pronounced, oaky nose with plenty of vanilla, toffee character. Full bodied, rich almost luscious palate. Big and bold wine with plenty of acidity to support it.
