Gold Label Chardonnay is sourced from high altitude vineyards in the Adelaide Hills, a region renowned for producing elegant Chardonnays with concentrated flavours. An excellent expression of region and variety, the nose shows aromas of grapefruit and white peach with a subtle nutty oak influence. A rich, complex creamy palate is balanced with refreshing acid and a long, delicate finish.
