The 2017 Mudgee Chardonnay wine has real depth, viscosity, concentrated fruit flavour that verges on citrus jam to honeyed golden fruits. Wafting lush notes of lemon barley sugar, marmalade, dried apricot, tinned peach, glace pineapple, butterscotch, gooey anzac biscuit, honey cake and light sultana notes …lush tangy citrus acid in nature but still rounded and soft on the length, the wines length and finish trails on and on into the minute mark and there after.
Nose of red and purple fruit confectionery, plum, cherry, blackberries and even a note of subtle blackcurrant syrup that carry through to the palate with extra notes of plum pudding, dusty cherries, floral pipe tobacco, monte carlo biscuit and fruit leather. Rich acid length with fine, elegant structure and refined tannins. There are no hard edges, just a fine line and length that’s stylish and lingering. Age for 10 years
The colour is a beautiful dark pink and ruby but translucent. the nose is as potent as can be expected with notes of turkish delight, strawberry cream candy, rose water, potpourri and pink and white blossom. The palate is subtle and delicate and actually displays great notes of dried strawberry, apricot, white flower nectar and over-ripe watermelon.
The Eloquesta 2017 ‘Blush’ Rose – Black Muscat and Viognier is full of flavour and a fruit flower basket of mixed delicate flavours, but still manages to be soft and subtle. This wine should be served slightly chilled and had in summer with subtle foods or cheese plates.
The fruit from this Chardonnay is from the top of the vineyard where it is more elevated and well drained and soils are lighter – volcanic red clay and basalt and quartz. The vines are more desiccated and struggling and the fruit develops a very unique floral perfume that seems to be geographical on this location where even the grasses, herbs and flowers smell sweet this way.
The wine displays very subtle notes of white blossom, vanilla, sandalwood spice, marshmallow, white plum, cream bun, pear drop and earl grey while being firm and citrus-like in acid on the palate. It’s a fantastic subtle chardonnay that allows food to express itself wonderfully.
This is a smooth white blend of cofermented Semillon (80%) and Viognier (20%) with 7 days of skin contacted with stems. Ageing was half in tank on Sur lees and half old oak with regular lees-stirring allowing for full malolactic to give the creamy-fruity finish that is rounded and soft but is rich on the palate.
The nose is immediately arresting with fresh zesty herbaceous flavours of pine cone, lemon leaf, mineral seaspray, passionfruit, sweet basil and apricot. The palate is smooth, oily and creamy but rich with vibrant fruity passionfruit, lemon drop confection and white plum with vibrant refreshing acid and medium weight.
This chardonnay was made in a light gentle style to be delicate and food friendly expressing notes of apple, pear drop, and white blossom. The palate is subtle and light but with firm tannins and delicate notes of white fruits, green apple skin, pear drop candy, Chinese yellow plum, earl grey and subtle melon.
The acid on the palate gives a firmness to the palate but makes this chardonnay is to be enjoyed with food. Its subtle flavours are perfect to be enjoyed with foods as it won’t overpower foods but partner them.
Its deep golden lemon colour suggests richness, but is surprisingly fresh, deep and plump but crisp, elegant and stylish. Fresh fragrant sparkling notes of green and yellow fruits, citrus and granny smith apple dominate. Nose of lemon biscuit, citrus flower and nougat, creamy oatmeal, apple candy, danish, white plum and only subtle note of background lemonade. I was shocked by the dominant fruit weight and structure versus the fresh acid line that holds and delivers a longer than expected length. Drink with various fresh seafood, prawns and oysters to my mind. This wine demands good company and conversation as just a prop in the background.
