A wine that provides compelling evidence that in the right conditions and year, McLaren Vale can turn out something special with a variety that it is not generally associated with. In this case a Chardonnay. A little malolactic fermentation has brought texture and substance to the palate. White peach and melon with a subtle toasty background create quite the wine for drinking in the short term.
