I purchased a case of Swings &
Roundabouts chardonnay, for the price, this chards is drinking well now. The
current style is less oak, more fruit and a lighter finish - I think they pull
it off. For about $18 a bottle, this Margaret River offering is pretty
competitively priced.
The crisp lightly oak style has taken hold for a number of years now, a positive maybe is that it could cut into unwooded chardonnay market; the domain of the professional woman grabbing a bottle on the way home from work to drink over dinner. What it isn't is a big kick arse chardy with big oak flavours ready to lay down for a decade to increase complexity with layer upon layer of fruit, wood and developing in the malolactic process. Just enjoy this easy drinking style now for what it is.
