Bilbul Road Reserve Chardonnay 2006 WHITE Australia

Delicious Spring-fresh Chardonnay named after Riverina pioneer William Bull who settled there in the 1890s and dug a 134 foot well which saved the region's population and livestock during extensive droughts at the end of the century. The De Bortoli name has been prominent in Australian wine since the company was established in 1928. The founder's grandson Dean De Bortoli made an international name for himself - and the Riverina wine region - by creating the now legendary Noble One Botrytis Semillon in the 1980s. De Bortoli was named 'Wine Company of the Year' by Winestate (Australia's Decanter magazine equivalent) in 2005 2006 and again in 2007. Made by senior winemaker John Coughlan from grapes picked in the cool of the night to preserve freshness. Pale gold with bags of peach and nectarine fruit. Rich ripe fresh melon flavours follow. Serve chilled with chicken or pork.
