Fresh green gold in colour, Bloodwood Chardonnay, through its subtle nectarine flower and mellow chalkiness, displays a gently savoury-textured, rainwater-soft palate fleshy with nectarine and melon fruit notes. And after all the flinty minerality and purity of varietal expression so typical of our old Chardonnay vineyard, there remains a generously refreshing presence at the absence of this wine.
