Octtava Wines Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay 2018

This is the kind of wine that made Australian Chardonnay popular around the world. Big and bold styles – sunshine in the glass, with mouth-filling fruit matched up with plenty of oak. It is golden in colour and bursting with peach and nectarine fruits pumped up by butterscotch and vanilla oak complexity. The palate is then dry, full-bodied and creamy, with rich and voluptuous fruit underscored by tangy acidity. It is a crowd pleaser that will hit the spot for fans of old-school chardonnay.
