Climbing 2006 Chardonnay - White Wine

White Wine by Climbing from Australia. Winemaker Philip Shaw says of the 2006 Chardonnay, This wine has lovely bright, lemony, tropical fruit characters. It shows flavor complexity from time on yeast lees and in oak. Also apparent is elegance and refinement, which is typical of the Orange region. I like the intensity of fruit flavor on the palate, as well as the length and noticeable creamy finish. This is drinking really well now and will continue to evolve over the next 3 to 5 years.
