Craiglee Chardonnay 2011
Finely crafted and tightly balanced, this smooth and luscious chardonnay has a fresh, perfumed and sweetly oaked bouquet of melon and peach backed by notes of butter and vanilla. ItÕs round and juicy but long and shapely, with generous flavours of citrus and melon that culminate in a soft, lively and finely balanced finish.

Winery
Craiglee
Craiglee is a tiny vineyard sited on rolling hills and pasture country on the edge of Sunbury. It’s an historic property, with an ancient gravity-fed bluestone winery and cellars that could easily be deployed again if a posse of health bureaucrats suddenly saw the light. Its vineyard is principally planted to shiraz, traditionally making a heady, spicy wine of peppery style and rare elegance. The 2010 Shiraz continues to be one of my favourite Australian wines. Unusually for such a small maker, Craiglee also keeps good stocks of back vintage releases, for which it asks very reasonable prices.
