Chardonnay
-
Fermented in old oak, this wine has a slightly buttery, butterscotch touch to the nose and palate. A true Chablis style of Chardonnay.

By Good FoodTiny Half Moon vineyard (1.6 hectares) is currently selling chardonnay from the 2010 and 2012 vintages. I also tasted the unreleased 2011 as a comparison. The wines share an elegance and finesse, though three distinct growing seasons left their marks.
The 2010, still very young and fresh, shows a delicate, butterscotch-like character (probably derived from malolactic fermentation); the pale, high-acid, austere 2011 needs years more to evolve and probably will; and the 2012 appears the most complete. Its pale colour and taut structure suggest years of cellaring ahead.
But the intense grapefruit-like varietal flavour and barrel-derived flavours and textures give it great drinking appeal now.
