First Creek Chardonnay 2012

While the Hunter Valley is world-famous for its Semillon and Shiraz; it also has a history of producing lovely regional Chardonnays like this 2012 vintage from First Creek.
 
Crafted from premium Pokolbin fruit, this Chardonnay is pale lemon straw in the glass with appealing light peach, melon and toasty oak aromas. The palate is ripe yet elegant with vibrant acidity and leesy richness showing layers of peach, melon and light toasty oak.
