CALEDONIA AUSTRALIS RESERVE CHARDONNAY 2003

An aged Australian Chardonnay with Reserve pedigree. From a cool-climate profile, it has matured with elegance, delivering integrated oak, developed complexity, and a mineral-tinged, focused finish. A collector-worthy bottle intended for savoury and nuanced champagne-like moments rather than simple fruit-forwardness. Tasting notes: Aroma: Honeyed citrus, baked apple, almond paste, brioche, and a touch of flint; light vanilla and nutmeg from oak. Palate: Medium-full, creamy texture; flavors of lemon curd, peach skin, and grilled pineapple; oak integrated with subtle toast; bright acidity still recognizable for age; subtle savoury notes emerging. Finish: Long and mineral-driven, with almond, citrus zest, and a gentle toasty echo.
