Having gone from sunshine in a bottle to perhaps too lean and mean, Australian Chardonnay is finally enjoying its “Goldilocks” moment, according to one MW.
Speaking during an online tasting that pitted Australian Chardonnay against Kiwi expressions, Australian wine specialist Natasha Hughes MW said: “It used to be that Australian Chardonnay was the flag-bearer for sunshine in a glass, and the wines were big, bumptious, ripe, fruity and pretty in your face.
“A decade ago there was a pendulum swing away from that style, some would argue too far. Some of the wines were stick thin with really high acidity and no mid-palate.
