Dollar for dollar Australia is arguably produces the best quality Chardonnay on this planet. Yes, white Burgundy at its best is without peer, but it comes at a considerable expense. There are many exceptional examples of Australian Chardonnay to be found at under $50 per bottle. That’s less than you would pay for an entry level Bourgogne Blanc from a good domaine.
Clyde Park Chardonnay is yet another delicious Australia Chardonnay. The most impressive thing about this wine is the balance of fruit, acidity and oak. It is more heavily worked than some edgy Chardonnays, but is nevertheless fresh and complex.
It is a wine without pretension that simply says ‘Drink me!’ Amen to that.
