AshburyGrove Chardonnay Reserve South Eastern Australia
Description: This deep yellow coloured Chardonnay has an enticingly fresh nose with subtle tropical notes. The palate offers citrus notes entwined with clean acidity and a soft oak influence on the enjoyable finish.

Kingston Estate was founded by Sarantos and Constantina Moularadellis, who developed their 40 acre.

Small batch fermenting in static fermenters with a neutral yeast has enabled full fruit flavours to develop. Avoiding any further malolactic fermentation produced a truly fruit driven style of wine with only a hint of underlying French oak support. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £103.64
