The Adelaide Hills is one of Australia's coolest wine regions and it shows in this lean, flinty and savoury style of Chardonnay. With 10 months of ageing in 20% new French oak, it picks up buttery flavours that add complexity on top of the lime and green apple on the palate. With the acidity level at 7.5g/l and residual sugar at just 1.1g/l, it is refreshing and salivating – perfect to pair with food.
