TASTING NOTES FOR The Hidden Sea Chardonnay Limestone Coast South Australia 2021
🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with bright clarity and youthful green hues. Fresh and inviting in the glass.
👃 Aromas
Expressive aromas of white peach, honeydew melon and citrus, complemented by crème brûlée, vanilla and gently toasted oak.
👅 Palate
Fresh yet generous, with white peach, stone fruit and citrus flavours supported by hints of tropical fruit. Bright acidity balances the richer fruit and subtle oak influence beautifully.
🍈 Texture & Finish
Smooth and rounded with a softly creamy, textural mid-palate. The finish is clean and persistent, with lingering citrus, stone fruit, vanilla and gentle spice.
🍇 Overall Style
A modern Limestone Coast Chardonnay combining generous fruit with freshness and restrained oak. Rich enough to provide flavour and texture while remaining balanced and highly approachable.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Excellent with grilled salmon, roast chicken, creamy seafood pasta, grilled prawns and pork. Also a great match with soft cheeses and mushroom dishes.
⭐ BBD Verdict
A very appealing Chardonnay with generous white peach and citrus fruit, subtle creamy oak and refreshing acidity. Smooth, flavoursome and easy to enjoy—an excellent choice for either a straight or mixed dozen.
