Kicking off Easter long-weekend with some cucumber, hummus, and Home & Away. :)
Wolfblass 2012 Eaglehawk Chardonnay
I've been interviewing for a job at Wolfblass (fingers and toes!), and thought it would be a good idea to sample one. Plus, it's $9. :) They do do more premium ranges; this is one of the 'cheap and cheerful' ranges.
Pale straw in colour
At first it smells like a Sauv Blanc (cats pee)
Grassy
Nutty
Apples and pears
lemon
Fruity, medium to high acid
Slight oak
Sharp citrus balances ok with the oak
Apples
Bitter grapefruit
Nuts (walnuts?)
Easy drinking. Good for a bbq or similar when you want to quaff something cheap. It does taste like they've sweetened it. Nice change from heavily oaked Hunter style Chardonnay, but not great. Fine for a $9 wine (liquorland).
