The 2007 Chardonnay was 100% barrel fermented, 40% in new oak, remaining 12 months in barrel. It reveals pronounced aromas of warm apricots, pineapple tart, honeydew melon and oatmeal. Crisp, medium bodied and silken textured, this wine has great balance and a long toasty finish with the oak still just a little apparent. Drink it now to 2016. Polished, complex and impeccably made, Voyager Estate's range of current releases is to be commended. Voyager does not currently have a USA importer.

(Western Australia) Fresh and subtle nose of crushed stone, minerals, pear, lees, citrus and meat. Juicy, complex, rich and pure with a stylish, gentle texture and a lovely, refreshingly crisp, mineral finish. Deceptively good. Alc: 13%.
