A stylish modern Chardonnay showcasing premium fruit from one of Australia’s best cool climate regions. In 2018, the Adelaide Hills vineyards of Woodside and Piccadilly provided the balance of softness, generosity and length, together with purity of fruit, fine acidity and mineral precision.
Vibrant pale green straw. Purity of fruit underlies this wine with an abundance of stonefruit and lemon pith, however it shows plenty of restraint and precision with its tight mineral acid backbone. A multi-layered palate with a seamless integration of oak and a harmonious texture, the Orlando Lyndale Chardonnay is an outstanding example of modern cool climate Chardonnay. Regional fruit characters of white peach and citrus with complex nuances of cashew, macadamia nut and flint.
Blocks from Woodside provided the backbone of this outstanding vintage which contributed generosity and length to the palate. Fruit from selected Piccadilly parcels with their purity added a fine linear acid profile.
