Tasting Notes :
Stella Bella Chardonnay Margaret River, 2017.
Brilliant pale lemon with green highlights.
The bouquet has a panoply of scents of great intensity and complexity –
there is an interplay of the aromatic notes of white flowers, anise and
lemon curd with the deeper notes of spicy oak, some yoghurt‐ like nuances and a hint of struck match.
The deft palate shows both restraint and power.
Taut citrus, pear and briny/mineral elements build in the mouth and
meld perfectly with the savoury, nutty, fine‐grained oak
which nevertheless remains unobtrusive.
The finish has a pleasant grapefruit‐like tang and
the signature length of flavour which shows great persistence.
A wine of elegance & finesse.
