Tasting Notes - Bidgeebong Tumbaruma Chardonnay 2003 (Recommended)

One of the few 100% Tumbarumba wines to hit our desks. Pale gold in the glass, looks about right for the age. Lively nose, crips acid, nervy, faint oak and a touch of the 'traditional' dry whites about it. Old fashioned?Interesting palate. Quite dry, buzzing acid, taunt, almost chalky ahla Clare Riesling, the latter standing out to the extent I may have called this riesling if tasting blind, although the suble sweet oak notes on the nose give the variety away. Some spritzy lime drives a long tight finish. One of the wines that is very easy to write a TN on. Good stuff.
