Xanadu Reserve Chardonnay 2008


I first tried this wine at a trade event at the winery with the "newish" owners The Rathbone family (Yering, Mt Langi, Parker). I remember at the time being blown away by it - but by the end of the night after a many more glasses the recollection was a little hazy

We've just got the wine instore and featuring it on the EnoMatic as of 27/4/10

Wow! It has been a while since a Aussie Chard has impressed me as much as this beauty! The nose is exotic with peach & grapefruit, and the palate is perfectly balanced with lots of leesy characters and toasty oak. Its flinty, powerful, complex, and bloody brilliant

For me this is knocking on 95 Points
Retails at $75 and worth every cent
