The Old Winery Chardonnay is a modern take on a traditional Chardonnay style. Grapes are picked a little earlier than usual to capture varietal freshness offering crisp, mouth-watering natural acidity, then matured it on yeast lees to add a little extra texture and complexity. It spent a relatively short time in French oak to maintain that wonderful freshness. The result is an easy-drinking, medium-bodied wine that offers aromas of stone fruit with a subtle hint of vanilla from the oak influence. The palate is generously flavoured with peach and citrus, rounded off with a clean, crisp finish. Serve slightly chilled to let the aromas and flavours sing. An ideal accompaniment to a wide variety of dishes, including seafood, vegetarian, chicken and pasta with a creamy sauce.

The touch of oak gives it a bit of authentic Australia, but it's only a touch and lets the other notes come through beautifully.
Hunter Valley at this price? 2020? Rings a bell, many vineyards were smoke tainted or far worse. This wine survived and is not tainted. It is crisp, dry, lightly oaked and very refreshing with a good body. Excellent value.
