Found at my local grocery stores.
Still pale lemon in color. Honeysuckle, elderflower, hay, beeswax, flint, smoky and reductive, jasmine, lemon curd, peach compote. Rippling acidity with a long, creamy and spicy finish.
Nowhere near its peak. A crown jewel of Australian winemaking.

What a banger of an Aussie Chardonnay
You found a 2012 art series at your local grocery store!? That’s the wildest part here.
I’ve a few later 2010 art series cab savs I’ve cellared for a while, great range.
Love that wine.
Such a cracking wine, I’m going to do a side-by-side of the 2020 and 2004 soon.
I still remember when I told someone I can’t stand the Aussie chards with the Animal labels. I said they overconckted messes.. Then someone poured me a Chard from the Mornington Peninsula. One of the best chardonnays I have ever had. That is what makes wine fun.
I really want to try this. I have Tolpuddle at my store and I’ve got access to By Farr as well, and the art series Chardonnay is only like $50-60 wholesale.
