The current offerings from Mitchelton include a delicious 1993 Chardonnay with a mineral, steely, Chablis-like character. The subtle yet expressive bouquet of ripe fruit is followed by a wine with excellent concentration, fine focus, and plenty of fresh, lively fruit. Any oak is well-concealed behind the wine's fruity personality. Drink it over the next year. Mitchelton continues to turn out attractively priced wines offering plenty of up-front appeal and character. Importers: Franklin Selections, Linthicum, MD and Kooka Wines, Seattle, WA.

A bright and fruity Australian white, with generous nectarine and spice aromas and flavors that linger on the finish. 40,000 cases made. -HS
