2013 Mike Press Adelaide Hills Chardonnay

A very light white-gold even lime-tinged colour. A soft, subtle honey-almond on the palate (white stone fruit, the label says). A very drinkable Chardonnay that you'd always be well-respected for bringing to the table.  The palate has length, even though mid-weight. After all, this is a single vineyard, Adelaide Hills Chardonnay, moreover by a winemaker ALWAYS on the pre-eminent Australian wine critic James Halliday's annual list of best Oz whites under $20 – how COULD you go wrong? So when in doubt, and if available, choose this. Simply recognisable in the simple big print of the winemaker's name on the label with first name in the colour of the grape variety.
