MOPPITY VINEYARDS CHARDONNAY
"Moppity Vineyards is based at Hilltops but this wine was grown at
Tumbarumba. It won a gold medal at the 2009 Royal Sydney Wine Show, and
also a Best in Class award. I’ve been looking around for a well-priced
chardonnay for a wine list that I’ve been working on, and this is the
perfect fit (though of course, it’s not limited to restaurant
distribution). Thing is, it’s an excellent, fresh chardonnay that will
drink well with food, even if well chilled.
Lemons, nectarine, grapegfruit. Very little oak influence and yet
the wine doesn’t lack texture. Refreshingly acidic, but not too much so
- it’s fresh and zippy, but not too challenging. Apples. Lots of
apple-like flavour here. I like it. You could even drink this with
pork. Smoky oak-spice in the aftertaste. Delicious wine. 93/100" ~ Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront
