2016 Bass Phillip Estate Chardonnay 750ml

Age and style of this chardonnay points towards the rich end of the scale, with peach and melon fruit notes, framed by an oaky, creamy finish. The word luxurious comes to mind.

Their Estate Chardonnay is rich and full on the palate with juicy flavours of fig and melon. Nuances of peach complete the fruit profile accompanied by a nutty complexity and creamy texture. This wine drinks beautifully now.

Pair with grilled veal and mushrooms or pumpkin ravioli (if you can wait until the food is served).

A tight and very balanced white with sliced-apple, lemon and pear character. Hints of toasted oak. Medium to full body. Reserved and very linear and lightly phenolic. Beautiful finish. Drink or hold. 95 points JamesSuckling.com
