Here’s a New World chardonnay with the depth and profile one might sooner expect from the better vineyards of Burgundy than from a land clear on the other side of the planet. It’s from Margaret River, in remote Western Australia near Perth. Full-bodied, it’s succulent and fleshy, with reductive barrel characters and perfectly ripe fruit suggesting grilled pineapple and peach along with buttered popcorn. A gem. Available in Ontario.
