Natalie's Score: 90/100

A lovely, full-bodied Chardonnay at a great value below $20 from Clare Valley Estate in South Australia. Balanced tropical fruit flavours with great acidity for food on this dry, cool-climate Chardonnay. Clearly a favourite and awarded Gold at the 2018 Best of Show Australia white at the Mundus Vini Spring Tasting 2018 and Gold at the 2018 China Wine & Spirits Awards.

Chardonnay food pairings: turkey burgers, crab cakes, chicken breast, lobster in butter sauce, cheese.

Remarkable Roast Chicken Wine

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
