Cassegrain Premium Chardonnay 2008
$20.00
A restrained, fruit-driven and contemporary chardonnay whose presence of fresh pear, pineapple and white peach flavours are lightly supported by nutty, vanilla oak. The wine has a slight sour-edged greenness that should dissipate and perhaps become mineral as it develops in the bottle.

Cassegrain
Cassegrain has steadily expanded from its original base around Port Macquarie to become an active participant in a number of cooler New South Wales regions, from which it regularly changes the fruit sources of some of its wines, including those featured here. There's a complex and sophisticated, savoury stamp about these wines that stands them apart from the Australian mainstream. Cassegrain's reds tend to lack genuine conviction and ripeness.
