AU$15, 13% alcohol, Barossa Valley, screwcap.

It sure smells buttery. Hot butter into honeysuckle and butterscotch aromas lead to a palate of grilled peach, cream, oak-spice and more butter. If you’re looking for a Buttery Chardonnay, then this is a very good option. It’s dry through the finish, it delivers what it promises on the tin, and if you let it breathe for a bit after you’ve opened it then it drinks pretty damn well, in the context of its buttery style. I’d recommend it.
