“This is an affordable, energetic modern Aussie Chardy from the cool climes of the Orange region of New South Wales. There’s lovely tension on the nose. It’s high toned but with subtle fruit, a copper penny tang and an underbelly of ground ginger, freshly squeezed lemon and peach juice, vanilla bean and a dried herbal note. The tension carries through to the palate. It’s lean but not mean, focused less on oak or lees character and more on tingly acidity and juicy fruit. One to please both the Chard and the Pinot Grigio lovers in your life. Editors’ Choice.”
