Sandalford
Margaret River, Western Australia
Estate Reserve Chardonnay750mL
This Sandalford Estate Reserve Chardonnay is a great example with its balance of dense fruit weight, lifted and balanced acidity, wonderful French oak integration and a superb length of flavour. Due to the classic "Indian Summer" conditions then prevailed throughout in the growing season, the fruit ripened perfectly to create this extraordinary Chardonnay.
