2013 Wickhams Road Gippsland Chardonnay

wickhams road chardonnayAnother Wickhams Road bargain.

Clarity. Purity. I’d be drinking this sooner rather than later. As a young wine you can fool yourself into thinking it’s a health drink. Almost mandarin-like acidity underpins white nectarines. So refreshing, juice should be dribbling down your chin. Oak takes a backseat while contributing a spicy coda. The flavour broadened a bit on the second day, edging in the direction of melon and almonds. Buy six and smash them over the next year or twelve if you want to revisit over the next two or three. 91
