The Piccadilly Valley has a proud history of crafting great Australian Chardonnay, and was the original home of Petaluma. This wine shows the same combination of bright, youthful and complex fruit in an elegant style. The wine is pale golden and a pretty, understated and finely detailed style. There are many layers – citrus, apple, grilled nut and praline fruit with an attractive gunflint edge. It is then dry, mid weight, savoury and juicy on the palate with the creamy texture and savoury elements seen from barrel ferment. It is also tangy, with palate impact, and finishes with good length.
