Picardy Chardonnay 2008
- Region Pemberton, WA
- Type White
- Size 750ml
- Alcohol 13%
This Pemberton creation opens with classic cashew nut, grapefruit and butterscotch characters, leading to a palate full of citrus flavours and buttery notes. There’s also a touch of Burgundian funkiness to it. Expect this to maintain its quality for years in the cellar. A wine for the ages that underlines Picardy’s reputation as a premium Chardonnay producer. -JL

Gary Walsh, Wine Front
says:Cashew cream, grapefruit, spice with some richer peach and melon fruit underneath. There’s a touch of wildness and funky barrel ferment here too that lends additional complexity. It’s fine, flinty and tight - a wine of precision and impeccable balance with a dry finish that’s long citrusy and spicy. If you know Picardy Chardonnay you won’t be disappointed with this release.
Huon Hooke, The Sydney Morning Herald
says:This is a mouth-watering Chablis style. The palate is tight and fine, crisp and clean. The fruit is soft and recalls cashews and melon, with understated oak. Tangy acidity, lovely line and length. All Chardonnay should be this refreshing.
