Australian Chardonnay is a bit of a secret, even though some spectacular bottlings do manage to find their way to the USA. This wine qualifies as such, with rich lemon and tart apple delivered in bone dry age-worthy style. Nothing tiresome here, just pure flavor riding bracing acidity. Lots of pairing possibilities come to mind when tasting this. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
