2008 Hidden Creek Granite Belt Chardonnay

Hidden Creek has a stacked label in black and white with caps of HC above the spelt-out name. But a lovely grey/green red image of a bird on a crreek. From Ballandean in QLD. The  label says the conditions are comparable with north-east and central Spain,  and  around French Cahors and Galliac, and the upper Rhone Valley. this is mid-lemon in colour. It's unusual: immediately like drinking cake, like maderia, but wihout the sweetness, with cream.  Pine is mainly in the perfume. A gorgeous chardonnay that's also subtle.
