Description
Situated in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains, the cool growing climate of Tumbarumba is the ideal location for clean, peach-fresh Chardonnays like this. With altitudes up to 750 metres, it's one of Australia's coldest viticultural regions … and fast becoming one of the finest!
Leading wine writer, James Halliday is a big fan of Hungerford Hill Chardonnay and gave this vintage a massive 92 points! The ultra-low yields in 2006 brought fruit concentration levels through the roof - producing wines of outstanding quality, as you'll soon taste.
"Pale straw green in colour. The nose displays complex yet delicate aromas of pear & white nectarine amidst a background of fine nutty oak. The palate is complex & full bodied with perfectly integrated fruit flavours & subtle French oak." Phillip John, Chief Winemaker.
