BK Wines One Ball Chardonnay 2011

The fruit for this One Ball Chardonnay comes from Kenton Valley which is located in between Gumeracha and Lobethal. It is cool in this area but not as cold as the Piccadilly Valley. What this area is renowned for is cherries and strawberries but it is the golf course that I drive past once ever week that is most surprising.  It is the sort of course that your legs will get a huge workout even if you stick to the fairways. What this course does possess is crisp air and lush green vista's.

For a wine that is 12.5% alcohol this sure does pack a punch with flavours of hazelnut infused creme and ripe melon. There is a thickness through the mid-palate from the oak treatment which is still needing a bit of time to fully integrate but it should look good with a year or three in a cave. The length of this wine is beautiful and I could see this working really well as a first pour as my guests arrive.

Alcohol: 12.5%
Price: $27 which is brilliant value
Rated: 87
