Dalrymple Cave Block Chardonnay, 2017, Tasmania

Apple blossom and white peach are coerced from the glass with hints of crushed caper and cinnamon. Fresh quince and Asian spices add to the complexity. Fresh citrus and melon flavours are balanced with a fine fleshy texture and fine vibrant acidity. The subtle spice derived from the French barriques adds complexity as well as structure through the palate and into a clean fresh finish.
