Bright-gold in the glass, this has an instant air of complexity about it, with creamy lees-derived aromas, some nougat, honeysuckle and plenty of ripe white-peach fruit below; the oak's toasty and fresh. In the mouth it's a powerful wine, with composure, strength and layered structure.

Sourced off younger, close spaced vines in the Tiers vineyard, this is effectively the second wine to the 'Tiers' Chardonnay and carries more than a little of that worthy DNA. Think hand picking, alcohol and malolactic ferment in barrel (50% new) where it then spent the next 10 months before bottling without filtration.

Bright mid-gold; a restrained and elegant bouquet of white peach, grapefruit, cashew and well handled toasty oak; the palate is fresh on entry and deeply textured with a generous core of sweet fruit; laser like acidity draws out the finish to a long, even and toasty conclusion.

Brian Croser led Australia's chardonnay romance by planting the Tiers vineyard at Piccadilly in 1978, though his significant reassessment on how to best treat this grape variety is indicative of Australia's renewed success with chardonnay.

Tapanappa 2010 Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay

Lovely signature of peaches and cream like a subtle Peach Melba desert, a touch of vanilla and caramel. Gorgeous oak accent and some citrus and nectarine all vieing for attention. The palate shows, citrus, burnt apple and grilled nuts, some really great texture before a long spicy oak finish. Complex and refined, elegant and impressive.

Top Aussie White - Tapanappa Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay 2010

This new wine is a little brother to Tapanappa's Tiers Chardonnay. It has a rich, full-blown stonefruit and nutty bouquet showing lees and barrel-ageing characters. High acidity and rich, generous fruit flavours of peach and cashew nut; not overtly oaky.

Now to four years.

91/100
