2005 Yalumba FDW[7c] Chardonnay

Adelaide Hills

Yalumba is one of Australia’s greatest wineries and the quality of their wines just keeps getting better and better.  The latest wine to attract my attention is their FDW[7c] Chardonnay.  FDW is the in house jargon for ‘Fine Dry White’ and 7C is their code for a special batch of Chardonnay.  This wine lives up to both of these claims, with its gorgeous aroma of nuts and fresh cream and its flavoursome yet reserved palate.  It is a wine for lovers of quality and complexity and at $24 it is an absolute bargain.

Available from fine wine stores.

Price: $24.00
