Alana Estate Chardonnay 2007 $42.00 *****

Alana Estate, where have you been all my life?  This Martinborough chardonnay has delicious aromas of ripe peach, buttered toast, juicy grapefruit and as soon as I sipped it I fell in love.  Satisfying and rich with a silky fresh texture in the mouth and incredible persistence of flavour.  When the bottle was finished I felt genuinely sad.
