The light gold-colored 1998 Chardonnay Gippsland is a blend of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Chenin Blanc. Although muted aromatically, it is thick and juicy with plenty of buttery fruit on the palate. It possesses good weight as well as well-integrated, underlying acidity. Consume it over the next several years. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (805) 278-9095
