MAIN RIDGE Chardonnay 1994

This is a wine that I have always enjoyed. It underwent full malolactic conversion and has carried it very well over the years. This bottle showed very minor affects of oxidation.


The colour in the glass is deep yellow, developed. A very rich nose of peach, nectarine, butterscotch and cream greets the senses. The palate is long and full with stewed nectarines, cream caramel and vanilla hints, a rich style from a cool vineyard in a warmish year, it finishes with a long clean acid finish. Still drinking very well, but near the end.
