Pipers Brook Estate Chardonnay 2007

Tasmania, Australia

Aromas of lush green fruits, apple, pear, citrus and limes, washed river bed quartz, hints of rock salt and mineral complexity, underlying Stone fruit linger on the palate, with the soft tones of freshly toasted chestnets and vanilla bean spice from fermentation in fine French oak barriques. The palate is clean, fresh, vibrant and mineral tight with longer more mineral stream lined acid balance, less obtrusive oak. The fruit is concentrated and complex and refreshing, offering a aromatic profile of minerals, white peach, apple and pear all tightly gathered together on the palate with the seamless fresh crisp acid and a structure for aging.
