Penfolds Max’s Chardonnay 750ml (ABV 13%)

Details

A contemporary style Chardonnay, fresh and finely structured. This wine delivers vibrant and pure fruit flavours balanced by bright, crisp natural acidity and complexity afforded from time in barrel. Max’s Chardonnay displays the Penfolds “stamp” inspired by Max Schubert, a winemaking legend in Penfolds history.

Nose – Adelaide Hills regional cues are evident. First impressions are of honeydew, melon and white peach. Grapefruit citrus notes are complemented by lemon/lime curd, pistachio nuts, creamy cashew, nougat and a complexing subtle rock flint character.

Palate – The palate is no less enticing, ripe white peach, finger lime and lemon sorbet. There is a sweet creamy/biscuity character redolent of freshly baked cheesecake, most likely a lees/ battonage influence. A fine line of balanced mineral like acidity adds length and bodes well for food pairing.
