DIXON VINEYARDS 1978 CHARDONNAY

DETAILS

THE 1978 SOUTH AUSTRALIA CHARDONNAY 2023 IS REGARDED AS ONE OF THE BEST WHITE WINES IN AUSTRALIA. THE WINE DISPLAYS A BOUQUET OF ORANGE BLOSSOM AND WHITE FLOWERS, WITH A VIBRANT, TEXTURAL PALATE OF GRAPEFRUIT, GREEN APPLE AND A CREAMY, FLINTY FINISH.

A rich purple-red colour leads to an enticing nose of raspberry, licorice & cracked pepper, with subtle hints of dried herb. A dense palate with good concentration, licorice & bitter dark chocolate tend to stand-out. Silky tannins give texture & balance to the wine.
The vibrant colour leads to a nose of complex aromas including blackcurrant, earth, forest floor, & subtle hints of vanilla and mocha. The full-bodied textural palate combines sweet fruit, oak & fruit tannin to give the palate richness & batance. The wine comes alive when enjoyed with food.
