Bay of Fires Chardonnay 2008
A complex, Macon-like chardonnay with a delicate, waxy and nutty perfume of grapefruit, melon and floral notes backed by suggestions of struck match, smoked bacon and funky, creamy leesy notes. Initially round and generous, with a layered, crunchy presence of brightly-lit fruit, it extends in a leaner fashion towards a savoury finish whose long, lingering core of melon and citrusy flavour is punctuated by a tingling acidity and a drying minerality.

Bay of Fires
Bay of Fires is an exceptional brand of finely crafted wines of individual style and quality which tend towards more complex, savoury and European expressions with arresting perfumes and delicate palate structures. While the current releases are a little below their established standard, the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc are typically amongst the finest of their kind in Tasmania. Depending on the season, these wines are sourced from up and down the State.
