Paradise IV Chardonnay 2008

Now opening up with richness and roundness, this finely crafted and mineral chardonnay has a lightly toasty bouquet of crystal-clear melon and citrus fruit deftly knit with sweet oak and a hint of grilled nuts. Underpinned by a fine chalkiness, its generous, slightly fatty presence of quince, melon and grapefruit flavour fills the mouth but ties in tightly towards a shapely, refreshing finish of exceptional length and focus.

Paradise IV
Paradise IV is one of the most sought-after labels in Victorian wine. It sits at the cutting edge of where cool climate Victoria is destined to head -Ę towards distinctive and unique expressions of special terroirs using a carefully chosen marriage of site, variety and philosophy. The Chardonnay is by some margin the finest from the Geelong region while the elegant, medium-weight and savoury Dardel Shiraz is a wine of international stature and greatness. Sadly -Ę to put it mildly -Ę its owners ripped up the vineyard prior to the 2019 harvest. Fortunately, for the immediate future at least, the spectacular 2017 vintage is in barrel and the 2018 wines are happily brooding in oak.
