One of the great Chardonnay makers worldwide, Tapanappa manages to craft something delicious from the greatest sites in Adelaide Hills year after year. Toasty aromatics entice, while the palate indulges with initial notes of caramel and pencil shaving, then comes some peach, followed by intense and lingering citrus freshness, with lime juice and lemon zest bringing a cleansing finish to what is a Chardonnay leaning towards a taut style but, thankfully, far from too skinny.
