This Piccadilly Chardonnay comes from ‘Pat and Ted’s Vineyard on Mount Bonython’, which I don’t know much about as a vineyard source, but it clearly works. As ever with Brian’s Chardonnay releases, this feels like proper Chardonnay, not some Sauv imitation, with a distinct mealy white peach grapefruit mouth-watering, rich/freshness that feels very right. There’s less oak influence in this wine (it spent less than six months in barrel) and more about that pure Piccadilly flavour and a contrast of flavours. There’s a line of solidsy whipped and filigreed white peach/fig ripeness, before a pure finish. It’s perhaps not in the same complexity class as the two Tiers wines, but a classy wine.
