Variety: Chardonnay
Region/G.I.: Hunter Valley, Hunter, Pokolbin
Vintage: 2012
Closure: Screwcap
Alcohol: 13.0%
Colour: Yellow
Bouquet: Slate aromas
Flavour: No fruit, all wet stone flavours. Quite a shock after the other Chardonnays tasted. Yet, this is well poised, balanced with nice acidity and a good mineral presence throughout and especially in the finish. It was our last bottle and after much discussion and retasting, our clear winner.

Points: 87 (4+7+12+7+7+50)
Notes: The winner of our Chardonnay tasting. From our group, most of us have not accumulated Chardonnay recently as Riesling and Semillon have been popular white alternatives
