Rosemount Show Reserve Chardonnay 1999

The vibrant appearance and lively straw colour of this 1999 Show Reserve Hunter Valley Chardonnay reflect the finesse that is evident throughout the wine. The aroma shows white peach and creamy notes, with an underlying savoury character, resulting from the oak and lees maturation. The palate displays a wealth of richly textured fruit with melon and fresh red apple flavours knitting seamlessly into the cashew-like oak and yeasty lees flavours. The wine has an elegant, dry finish, with sustained fruit and excellent length. In bottle, the wine will reward cellaring for up to ten years. Philip Shaw, Winemaker
