Medium-light yellow colour showing a shade more development than the Pipers River wine; the bouquet shows a silage/canned vegetable character typical of Tasmanian chardonnay, while the palate is softer and rounder than expected, with gentle acidity and a slightly tapering finish. A hint of canned peas and a trace of sweetness in the core. Plenty of lemon/citrus as well. A chardonnay of generosity and character.

Loaded with flavour and depth, this is a fabulous Chardonnay from Dalrymple. I'm sure that's what is drawing me closer each time. It may be the caramel drop delight. Perhaps it's the lemony tang. Regardless, I'll just keep sipping. Cashews and almonds bring some nutty appeal to a mouthfeel that is rounded with delicious flow. Toasty oak brings some vanilla with it and the fleshy stonefruit drive is generous and lengthy. Fine ginger biscuit spices curl around the edges, but that drive... Smart stuff and a Chardonnay I'd certainly recommend. Drink to five years+
