Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Awesome value for a buttery, slightly toasty and tasty Chardonnay! Fresh apple, pear, honeydew melon and citrus notes hit you upfront with long lasting juicy stonefruit, green pineapple and citrus flavours in the palate. Enjoy this medium+ bodied creamy Aussie Chardonnay with bacon-corn chowder. Tasted Jan 2017 - @sommsosa / bespoketastings.ca
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Tart, zesty, medium bodied, medium acidity, integrating alcohol. Brilliant pale gold. Long finish with persistence of stone fruit, toasted nuts, fresh herbs. Tasting well on its own. Pair with herb roasted BBQ beer can chicken or a quinoa salad with pine nuts and pomegranate. Tasted Jan 2017. Rated 88/100.
The Taylor family has been making wine in Australia for 3 generations. This Australian Chardonnay is a multi-award winner: Previous vintages of this wine were awarded a Gold Medal at the World Value Wine Challenge. Pair with grilled chicken. - Community Wine Reviews
