Flat Rock The Rusty Shed Chardonnay 2012

Rusty Shed represents an expression of the best parcels of Chardonnay from the best barrels made from estate fruit. This is robust and generous on the nose with notes of poached pear, baked apple, lemon, mineral and toasted vanilla spice. It has lovely texture on the palate to go with apple, brioche, pear, smoke and a pure vein of minerality. It's rich, no doubt, but maintains finesse and elegance through the finish. Score - 91.
