Being somewhat less than a total wine snob, I can't give you all the fancy scales, scores, buzz-words or cliche phrases that only the most cognoscenti of wine drinkers could understand... if they actually do. After all, everyone's tastes vary, not just in preference, but in chemical sensitivity - thus the definition of 'taste' varies from person to person.
For me, this wine went something like this: The first whiff as I cracked the seal gave off a strong bouquet of fruit and autumn leaves... a very pleasant, if not entirely expected scent from a white wine - it almost reminded me of a red.
The first taste had strong melon and berryfruit tastes, with a hint of citrus sneaking around the outer edges. There was a vaporous rush up the back of my throat and nose as I swallowed, followed by a short and sharp, but thankfully not unpleasant, acid burst at the tail end that left my palate feeling clean. A lovely drop, great in cooking - if you can bring yourself to waste such a tasty grape-squeezing - but awesome being sipped on a cold night next to a hot fire.

Founder Peter Yealands' vision is to create the world's most environmentally-friendly wines. Constantly seeking new ways to work, he combines his love of the land with wines as bold as his ambition. These very approachable wines prove that sustainability always rewards with lasting quality.
The Peter Yealands Chardonnay exhibits stone fruit, melon, and pineapple flavours with a subtle nutty character. The palate is savoury and full, finishing with a crisp, refreshing finish. The ideal partner for Roast Chicken with all the trimmings.
