Sidewood 2013 Chardonnay (Adelaide Hills)

Country: Australia /
Variety: Chardonnay South Australia
Winery: Sidewood / Adelaide Hills

Another fine effort from Sidewood, a winery in the Adelaide Hills that is making some solid wines at realistic prices. Although this wine sees six months of French oak, the oak flavoring impact is minimal, and the wine shows ample fruit, ranging from pear and melon through peach and pineapple. It’s a reasonably rich, fruity quaff for summertime drinking.
