From a couple of sites in the Adelaide Hills, the 2017 Mere et Fils Chardonnay offers pear and green apple aromas on the nose. It's half barrel-fermented in second and third use barrels, with the other half fermented and aged in tank. The result is medium-bodied and plump, with a pleasant creaminess on the mid-palate, then a crisp, citrusy finish.

Fresh pear and lime sherbet flavors are silky, set on a light body, with hints of white flowers and spice on the finish. Drink now. 1,000 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / Adelaide Hills Select to Add
