Hint of lime in colour, pear drops on the nose- lovely. This must be the first new world Chardonnay I have really enjoyed for a very long time. Nicely rounded and incredibly fresh, low-fat cream and spiced peach, lime juice acidity, a touch of background oak. Not heavy, different and just right.

Hi GK,
Is that a Chilean chard, couldn't find it. I thought this one also made the grade in an elegant way. Yours tho, is an 09 - so extra young & virginal.


Los Graneros

The land there was grain growing, so there is a concern that Chile, could be overdoing it on historic grain lands. Lets hope they have a balanced agricultural Sys.....unlike some parts of Europe !

Had the Red Block Shiraz over the weekend, typical Sth Oz Shiraz, some spice, sweet fruit lacking acidity and grip, swift finish, forgotton about.

We had a second bottle of the Chardonnay last night, just as nice as the first.

It deserves one of these..

*Am I allowed to give it one of these or are these for Mel only?

You know you are. Nothing's reserved for me, except that I have power of deletion. AND on the new site, all the spammers, with stupid names, who have never posted anything, can be deleted with one key.

Cue horror movie deep laugh.

Sun Blazing down. Just hand delivered a letter in town (no reason, just felt like it). Hot, hot, hot.
