Hill Smith Estate Chardonnay 2011

With such a vast array of soils and microclimates, Australia offers a bounty of Chardonnay most famously from South Australia and New South Wales; Hunter Valley and Victoria in particular although many other regions have earned worthy recognition. While some are subtle and others ebullient with charm, the Chardonnay we source from our antipodean chums is only that we enjoy drinking so we can easily stand behind all among our portfolio; whether they be the snappy unwooded variety or the richest and creamiest alternative, Aussie Chardonnay engenders every complexion of Chardonnay and make them a pleasure to explore –from the citrus driven sorts to those with alluring stone fruit qualities showing the more ripened elements as well as affinity to oak maturation. Australian Chardonnay offers a breadth of character to which few other varieties compare.
