Unwooded Chardonnay

2005 Western Australia Chardonnay

This wine is delightfully light-bodied, offering a crisp mouthfeel with bright acidity that invigorates the palate. It presents a medium fruit intensity, with notes of citrus and stone fruit that dance on the tongue. The absence of oak aging allows the pure essence of the Chardonnay grape to shine through, delivering a clean and refreshing experience. With its bone-dry profile, this Chardonnay is a perfect companion for seafood or light salads, making it an ideal choice for those seeking an unembellished yet flavorful white wine.

Fans of Aussie wine will be familiar with Western Australia's beautifully complex Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhône varietals and blends. Lying south of Perth around the southwestern tip of the country, this relatively small area produces just five percent of Australia's wine. But when it comes to quality, Western Australia punches well above its weight. Well-known small sub-regions within Western Australia include Margaret River, Frankland River and the Blackwood Valley, where the dynamic Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs and Rieslings are distinctly European in character.
