Scarborough does wonderful things with Chardonnay in the
Hunter Valley and the Yellow Label is their out and proud ‘old school’ style of
chardonnay. In all but the odd horror Hunter Valley vintages, I can rely on this wine.
Smells of lemon, traces of lemon rind, cashews and spicy,
creamy oak
On the palate, juicy lemon, ripe grapefruit, an alluring creamy
texture and clean acid. Some integrated oak flavours on the back palate.
Clean, flavoursome and refreshing, but not overpowering or
too woody. The body and flavour to make it a versatile wine to drink with across
a range of white meat dishes (seafood to roast chicken thighs).
Old school but wearing a shiny new suit.
