Today’s wine is the 2003 Radford Dale Chardonnay. Medium bodied with beautiful straight fruit and a steely, slightly mineral taste. Well rounded, with gentle oak and finishes with a soft, rich long and lovely aftertaste. Full of nuance and complexity - and very French inspired. This is like great Burgundy at half the price. Only 800 cases made of this wine which should be drunk over the next 2-3 years.
