Orlando Hilary Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2019 (Australia)

Description

• Hazlenut nougat
• White nectarine
• Lemon curd
• Creamy texture

"Smoky white fleshed stone fruits, apple and vanilla, cashew nut and baked custard aromas. Almost full-bodied on the palate with flavours of grapefruit and lemon, apple and white peach, nut and toasty barrel spices. Acidity adds punch while fine oak tannins layer in a lovely mouthfeel. Great drinking from 2021 through 2025+" Cameron Douglas Master Sommelier, Nov 2021

Pale straw with flashes of green. Palate shows restraint with a nougat and creamy elegance. Subtle flavours along with the typical Adelaide Hills acid line bring freshness and length. Quintessential Adelaide Hills with white nectarine, lemon curd and hazelnut aromas, and underlying mineral characters in the background.

Blocks from selected Piccadilly vineyards with their pure line and fine acid linear profile provide the backbone of this contemporary Chardonnay.

Food Pairing: Braised chicken on the bone with mushroom and thyme.
