Jacobs Creek Reeves Point Chardonnay 2004

RRP : $29.90
Kemenys Rating : 93/100
Value :

Tasting Note :

This wine has a bouquet of intense white peach and citrus fruit with a background of nutty oak and buttery complexity.  White peach, melon and citrus fruit flavours are quite fresh and long on the palate, which marry well with the nutty, cedar oak flavours.  The texture is soft and creamy and has been enhanced by malo-lactic characters.  The wine has a long presence on the palate and is balanced by a fresh acid finish.

 
Jacobs Creek Reserve Chardonnay 2007

Kemenys Price : $12.99
RRP : $19.00
Kemenys Rating : 93/100
Value :

Tasting Note :

Gorgeous, fragrant and attractive.  Fruit aromas of lemon blossom, white peach, layered with nutty, smokey, vanillin oak.  Touch of barrel ferment character and buttery notes from malolactic fermentation add interest. The palate is zesty complex and long with loads of flavour.  Great fruit intensity, a creamy soft mouth feel, integrated oak and a fine tight acid structure all adds up to a extremely classy wine.

Knappstein Clare Valley Chardonnay 2006

Kemenys Price : $14.99
RRP : $23.99
Kemenys Rating : 90/100
Value :

Tasting Note :

The 2006 chardonnay benefited from the cool February period.  The grapes ripened slowly and wine displays subtle peach and melon characters.  The palate shows full yeasty characters from lees contact.  The oak is very subtle allowing the fruit to dominate. The wine finishes with clean crisp acid.

 
Kooyong Clonale Chardonnay 2007

Kemenys Price : $21.99
RRP : $27.50
Kemenys Rating : 92/100
Value :

Tasting Note :

"Tight, restrained and beautifully structured, the Kooyong Clonale Chardonnay is close to perfection, particularly at this price point. On the palate, you'll find softer textures and flavours of ripe peaches, but there is a persistent seam of citrus acid tingle all the way through the wine.  There's even a hint of minerality like good chablis.  Sublime."

Leeuwin Estate Prelude Chardonnay 2007

Kemenys Price : $25.99
RRP : $34.00
Kemenys Rating : 91/100
Value :

Tasting Note :

The nose has characteristic Leeuwin Estate Chardonnay aromas and intensity, showing ripe pears, cashew nuts, creme brulee and hints of toasty French oak.  The palate displays the typical sweet fruit from Leeuwin's low cropping vineyards of dried pear, toasty creamy custard tart and nutty nuances of almond and cashew, with lingering stone fruit and a fresh clean acid finish, This is a very exhilarating wine with great balance from a superior Chardonnay vintage with the potential to benefit from at least 5 years cellaring.

RRP : $15.00
Kemenys Rating : 89/100

McWilliams Hanwood Chardonnay 2006

Kemenys Price : $8.99
RRP : $11.99
Kemenys Rating :
Value :

Tasting Note :

This wine has aromas of apricot kernel, peach and melon dominate, with hints of vanilla and honey.  Fine pencil and cedar French oak characters are beautifully supported by creamy butterscotch characters from malo-lactic fermentation.  Dominating the front palate are fruit flavours of peach, nectarine and melon.  The fruit is astutely balanced by the soft oak influence, hints of creaminess  and an excellent acid backbone, providing superb structure and length.

 
Mountadam Eden Valley Chardonnay 2007

Kemenys Price : $28.99
RRP  $37.00
Kemenys Rating  92/100
Value : dddd

Tasting Note :

The wine has a light golden colour, with classic Chardonnay fruit aromas of peach, nectarine and nashi pear. The typical Mountadam Chardonnay characters of grilled nuts with clove and nutmeg spice supported by a citrus (grapefruit) core, contribute to the length of flavour of the wine. Given the warm conditions of this vintage these characters strongly reinforce the cool climate pedigree of the High Eden estate.

Pirie South Tasmanian Chardonnay 2007

Kemenys Price : $17.99
RRP : $23.99
Kemenys Rating : 90/100
Value : ddddd

Tasting Note :

Think of a chardonnay generous enough to drink with mussels or clams but still light enough on the palate to enjoy by itself as an aperitif. The bouquet is aromatic, with straw and soft, buttery characters from the partial malo-lactic. While the palate is even and softly textured, the fine acidity maintains elegance and keeps the wine fresh in the mouth.

Rockbare McLaren Vale Chardonnay 2007


Kemenys Price : $13.99
RRP : $19.00
Kemenys Rating : 89/100
Value : ddddd

Tasting Note :

The bouquet is of tropical fruits, a beautiful burst of aromatics that is pure, heady and refreshing.  As the wine hits your taste buds, you are immediately rewarded with a big lick of tropical fruits and tangelo's.  It's fresh, lively and lengthy.  There is a really attractive mid-palate creaminess, derived from 5 months on yeast lees, which wraps around the zippy back palate.  Cellar for 1 to 3 years.

Rolling Chardonnay 2007

Kemenys Price : $12.99
RRP : $17.99
Kemenys Rating : 88/100
Value   

Tasting Note :

"This shows the hallmarks of its cool-climate origins. Sourced from the part of the Cumulus vineyard this is below 600 metres; above is classified as Orange, below is Central Ranges. Great texture and mouthfeel is the feature of this chardonnay - it's tight, lean and fine, even a touch grippy, certainly cool and refreshing. Restrained, white peach and nectarine flavours. A modern style at a budget price."

Shaw & Smith M3 Chardonnay 2007

Kemenys Price : $34.99
RRP : $42.00
Kemenys Rating : 96/100
Value :

Tasting Note :
Paler than normal chardonnay. This wine is at the forefront of the on-going refinement and evolution of Australian chardonnay. It combines elegance and restraint with the capacity to age in the bottle and reflect the cooler growing conditions of the Adelaide Hills. This 2007 M3 Chardonnay has very distinct, savoury characters-slightly austere, restrained fruit and fabulous palate length.
