$55, 12.9% alcohol, screwcap, Tumbarumba.

Moppity’s Emprise Chardonnay is grown exclusively on the elevated Block 20 of the famed Coppabella vineyard in Tumbarumba.

Somebody please put a gold medal around this wine’s neck. It’s a gold star wine if ever there was one. It’s rich, it’s neat, it’s lengthy and it’s powerful, and as a drink it’s delicious and more. It tastes of grilled peach, cedar, woodsmoke, nougat and grapefruit, and from start to finish it lays down quality as if though there’s no tomorrow. This is a wonderful chardonnay. 96 points.
