Thistledown – Chardonnay – 2013 (Metrovino)
A cool climate Chardonnay from elevated vineyards in the Eden Valley of Australia. I have tasted amazing Riesling from this region with that unmistakable petrol quality but never really tried any Chardonnay from this area. A really different flavour profile and nose than I was expecting from a cool climate Chardonnay. A very interesting wine to try out but for me it was a little too tight and a bit out of balance.
Tasting Notes: Fruit flavours of white nectarine and peach but much more citrus fruit on the mid palate along with white pepper. There is a lot of minerality to this wine and very fresh acidity. Lots of great components but it is a little out of balance in my view.
