Viridian Wines Chardonnay 2010
Viridian Wines Chardonnay 2010 from Tasmania is a mature cool-climate Chardonnay showing evolved aromas of baked pear, melon and citrus peel with layered notes of honeyed toast and subtle nuttiness. The palate remains surprisingly fresh, with a creamy, rounded texture that has developed over time while retaining a crisp, underlying acid backbone. Fruit has softened into richer, more complex secondary flavours, giving a sense of depth and warmth. The style is pure and un-oaked, allowing the aged fruit expression and natural minerality to shine through. The finish is long, smooth and gently savoury, making it a beautifully resolved wine drinking at peak now with roast poultry, creamy dishes or soft cheeses.
Region: Derwent Valley, Tasmania
