There is one white wine (Coonawarra is predominantly a red wine GI), the 2008 Aradia Chardonnay. It spent 9 months in 35% new French oak hogsheads and was not put through malolactic fermentation. Light gold-colored, it displays a nose of toast, baking spices, poached pear, and apple. Medium to full-bodied, it has plenty of fruit, savory flavors, lively acidity, and good balance with the oak well integrated. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.

Crisp and pineapple-y, with hints of custard and spice, this is a medium-bodied Chardonnay that nicely balances oak spice, custardy richness and bright fruit. Drink it over the next 6–9 months.——J.C.(7/1/2010)—— 86
