Hardys HRB Chardonnay, Pemberton-Yarra Valley

Constructed from Chardonnay grapes grown in the cool-climate regions of Pemberton and Yarra Valley: two regions, though about 2,000 miles apart, that share the ability to produce excellent fruit. The wine is aged for about eight months in French oak, with 10% going through a malolactic fermentation. Shows lemon-citrus, white peach on the nose, the palate is firm with a refreshing finish, a touch of mineral character and hint of vanillin-oak.

In warmer climates it develops buttery, honey notes whereas hotter climates, it's richer in body with the flavour of tropical fruits.
