2023 Bubb & Pooley Tasmania Chardonnay
Tasting notes:
The 2023 Bubb & Pooley from Tasmania is a bright, pale straw wine with a hint of green, signifying its youthful vibrancy. Its lively and intricate bouquet showcases a delightful mix of citrus fruits such as lemon zest and lime, along with green apple and white flowers, complemented by subtle undertones of wet stone and fresh herbs. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a crisp, refreshing texture, offering flavors of zesty citrus, green apple, pear, and a hint of tropical pineapple. Minimal oak influence adds delicate nuances of vanilla and almond. The wine’s vibrant, well-balanced acidity provides a refreshing backbone that enhances the fruit flavors and imparts a lively character, while a pronounced minerality reflects Tasmania’s unique terroir. The finish is clean and lingering, with persistent notes of citrus, green apple, and a touch of minerality. Enjoyable now, the wine also has the potential to develop further complexity over the next 3-5 years. It pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, light salads, grilled chicken, and fresh cheeses, making it a versatile choice for various culinary experiences.
