With moderate alcohol, focussed, crisp citrus fruit and a mouthwatering finish, this is an accomplished, truly modern style of this noble variety.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003eCitrussy, subtle oak influence and a bright yet creamy palate. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePoints, Awards, Reviews:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif; mso-no-proof: yes;\"\u003e93 points \u0026amp; Special Value Halliday Wine Companion (Marcus Ellis) - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-no-proof: yes;\"\u003eBarrel and egg fermented with native yeast, blocked mlf, regular stirring. There’s a lot of chardonnay kerb appeal to this, with white nectarine, praline, nougat, a toasted nuttiness, baked pastry and preserved ginger. The lees work has built some of that flavour detail, and it has also contributed a well-judged creamy, textural palate, while finishing with pleasing vigour. A chardonnay of flavour and verve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thistledown Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"Bottle","offer_id":42992798204062,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/2775\/2862\/files\/thistledown-great-escape-chardonnay-nv-web_6291a340-a518-4b27-a8b6-e63ef51c80f0.png?v=1701734371","url":"https:\/\/domainedirect.com\/products\/thistledown-the-great-escape-chardonnay-2025","provider":"DomaineDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
