Morton Estate Black Label Chardonnay 2007

Tasting Note
100% Mendoza clone fruit from our Kinross and Riverview vineyards was predominantly hand picked, whole bunch pressed, then fermented in 90% new French oak barrels.
The complex nose exhibits a myriad of aromas including golden queen peaches, tropical fruit, banana, butterscotch, nougat and crushed hazel nuts.
These characters dance together and fuse to form flavours of peach, ripe grapefruit and honeyed figs presented on a creamy, silken palate with a long, toasty finish.
Although exceptional now, it will reward cellaring for 6 years for added complexity. The perfect match to rich, creamy dishes and cheeses. 

Reviews
A stylish Chardonnay showing lovely complex aromas of roasted cashew, stonefruit and creamy oak. The palate is ripe and beautifully layered with silky texture, excellent fruit intensity and perfectly harmonised acidity. The finish is smooth and extra long with plenty of mouth-pleasing flavours. An elegantly expressed and beautifully poised Chardonnay showing lovely refinement. At its best: now to 2014. 

Rich, creamy-textured Chardonnay with good mouth feel and plenty of weight. Quite a complex wine with a sensitive mix of ripe peach/nectarine fruit flavours with bran biscuit and hazelnut. Very impressive wine - a top tier Chardonnay at a fair price. Bob Campbell (MW), April 2011.
