Robert Oatley 2016 Finisterre Chardonnay (Margaret River)

Country: Australia / Finisterre
Variety: Chardonnay Western Australia
Winery: Robert Oatley / Margaret River

Complexity and longevity are the name of the game here. This shows a restrained nose of melon, smoke, nuts and a little buttery oak. The palate is really where it’s at, weaving those same flavors seamlessly together. With a chalky texture and a good lick of acidity, everything is in balance here, setting this wine up for plenty of years of life. Drink now–2025.
