ROBERT OATLEY MARGARET RIVER CHARDONNAY

This Margaret River Chard opens with delicate, appealing melon and citrus notes, followed by saline, oyster shell and slightly sweet vanillin oak notes (this is, however, a dry wine). The palate is finely spun with both a chalky and silky mouthfeel, sliced with prickly, saline-like acidity and speckled with minerals. The oak is ever-present but should settle with time. Drink now but watch this blossom with time, until 2030.
