Richland Chardonnay 2008
South Eastern, Australia
When it comes to Chardonnay, Australia has been quicker than California to pull back on sweet and oaky, giving the fruit of the grape a chance to shine through. For some that means no oak at all; for others, it’s allowing the wood to be subtle instead of dominant.
The Richland Chardonnay shows what can be gained from this approach: a refreshing interplay of fruit aromas – pear, mango, white peach and a dash of lemon – with just a hint of vanilla and white chocolate from the wood. It’s full-bodied and firm, but carries itself gracefully.
West End Estates practices the process of sustainable viticulture to make all of their wines "green".

The description of this wine is right on. Crisp, lots of fruit, new style Chardonnay. No buttery oak. Nice summer Chardonnay.
enjoyed this Chardonnay. Lots of flavor and a good tradional chardonnay.

The Richland Chardonnay works well with chicken and lighter cuts of pork, but where it really shines is seafood: shrimp, poached lobster, and scallops all get along great with this wine.
