Hillcrest Vineyard Premium Chardonnay 2010

This wine was picked at the same time as the village but it comes from the oldest plantings in the vineyard.

Hillcrest Vineyard Premium Chardonnay 2010

For the first two days this wine was very difficult to taste but my god did it improve over the next few days. From the start the depth of flavour was profound and on the third day the true balanced showed itself.  Wild flowers intertwined with dried grapefruit skin, almond essence and cracked pepper roll their way down my tongue with verve and a classy swagger. This is one to stash away for a few years and then show off at the Christmas table.
