Description
"A crowd-pleasingly tasty Chardonnay; the nicely lifted bouquet shows white nectarine, rock melon, hazelnut and vanilla characters. The palate is succulent and beautifully rounded, and displays attractive fruit weight and creamy texture, elegantly structured by fine acidity" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"Youthful, fresh and fruity bouquet with aromas and flavours of peaches with whipped cream, a light nutty oaky line and butter popcorn layer. Equally youthful and fresh on the palate with time needed to further integrate the textures and flavours. Light and refreshing with a vanilla oak and peach finish. Drink now and through 2022" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
This Mystery Chardonnay displays notes of stone fruit, nuts, vanilla and oak.
The 2015/2016 growing season was warm and dry. A couple of heavy, but isolated, rain events in January and March provided some drought relief and kept canopies healthy and green. There was very little disease pressure leading into harvest, so winemakers were able to pick blocks purely on flavour and ripeness.
The fruit was machine picked and gently pressed directly to a mix of French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. Fermentation occurred with a mix of indigenous and cultured yeasts (Burgundy isolates). The wine was then left to mature in its fermentation vessels on lees for a further 6 months, before being racked and blended.

My first time purchase during COVID-19 lockdown. Mystery Chardonnay which proved out to be a great wine and truly value for money. Faster than expected delivery over a difficult time and the start of a long weekend.
