Penfolds Max's Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2016
Penfolds Max's Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2016
A premium, cool climate Chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills
Crisp, fresh and with plenty of complexity derived from maturation in high- quality French oak
Max’s is a beneficiary from relegated parcels from tier above, including parcels narrowly missing including in the Reserve Bin A.
Subtle stone fruits, yellow peach, nectarine and faint wafts of citrus are foremost. Upon further swirling, hints of floral notes shine through, jasmine and white rose petal perfume, and a touch of Ginger spice. Oak is present but in balance and offering a nutty/ nougat nuance. Creamy, crème brulee like French oak lingers with a lovely flinty, wet stone/chalky refreshing acid line.
A great match for creamy dishes like coconut curries or creamy pastas. Will also delight when paired with roast chicken or strong seafood flavours.
