Tobacco Road Unwooded Chardonnay 2004

A frequent criticism of Australian no-oak chard is its (general) inability to produce notiable wine that sways the drinker away from Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc based wines. As inoffensive as this wine is it’s unlikely to sway the accepted opinion. Fruity nose of pineapples and a citric edge, safe but kinda boring. Similar to taste although the fruit gets a bit sweeter and perhaps a touch flabby, initially, before the tightness from the citrus kick in mid palate. Non-descript finish and gets a little dilutive on the finish.
