Closer to what we expect of Aussie Chardonnay - full-flavoured and toasty - but this one's a particularly attractive example. Don't worry about the vintage; even Merrill's white wines are made to last and aged in bottle for a substantial period before release. The Chardonnay currently on sale in Australia is 1991!
Geoff Merrill Cabernet Sauvignon 1991/2 (same outlets and price as Chardonnay), This one has it all. See Bottle of the Week.
