Bay of Fires Chardonnay 2010
Complex, wild and unusual Ð a genuine Chablis-like effort with Tasmanian chardonnay Ð with an edgy and rather nutty bouquet of evolved lanolin and waxy influences over light notes of grapefruit, melon and lemon. Fine and very elegant, its lean expression of citrus tart and melon flavour drives long and focused towards a savoury finish of trim acidity and lingering meaty and earthy aspects.

Winery
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.
