Obelisk Wines Ded Reckoning Wrattonbully Chardonnay 2015
About the wine
Delicious, refreshing and crisp.
- This wine will welcome you to the wonderful world of the Hoopers and their gorgeous Limestone Coast location. Purity and sustainability are the main focus of Anna and Derek's approach to each vintage, especially with this focus on the sub- region Wrattonbully grapes. Anna and Des always make the most of their climatic conditions and use minimal intervention in their winemaking process, letting Mother Nature do her wondrous thing.
- Naturally low yielding Chardonnay vines have produced a stunning flavour profile, providing the essential basis for the Hoopers to build upon and create a delicious white wine that you'll be coming back to again and again. The cool maritime region lends itself to abundant ripe apricot and floral notes that will leap from your glass.
- Prepare your palate for a hint of oak, complimenting a luscious and viscous mouth feel. Floral and apricot layers will mingle with the touch of spice & send your tastebuds into a spin! You'll enjoy a great mouthfeel and terrific length of finish. This is a delightful drop that will win any Chardonnay lover's heart, yet also remain crisp enough to entice those new to the world of Chardonnay.
