2015 Shaw& Smith M3 A.Hills Chardonnay

Tasting: The 2018 Patina Orange Chardonnay is a sophisticated wine that highlights the unique terroir of the Orange wine region in New South Wales, Australia. It presents a bright pale gold color with a hint of green. The nose is vibrant and aromatic, featuring fresh citrus notes of lemon and lime, alongside ripe stone fruits like peach and nectarine. Delicate oak nuances add complexity, with subtle hints of vanilla, toasted nuts, and a touch of creaminess. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced with crisp acidity and a smooth, creamy texture. Flavors of citrus and stone fruits are seamlessly integrated with the oak, offering a harmonious blend of freshness and richness. The finish is long and elegant, with a refreshing aftertaste of fruit and a gentle hint of oak. This medium-bodied Chardonnay pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes, showcasing the finesse and quality of the Patina range.
