Colour is pale straw with a light green hue. Notes of lemon curd, almond , meal and honey dew melon complement well integrated spicy oak nuances. The palate is fresh and lively balancing creamy mouth-feel with lovely lemon/lime acidity. Melon, loquat, white peach and fig characters combine with the subtle use of oak to make a wine of great complexity, finished taught and clean. Koonunga Hill whites are well proportioned wines with distinctive primary fruit characters and good levels of intensity. They are a step up from the Rawson's Retreat whites, with more concentration and fruit power. The Chardonnay, which is matured for several months in small French oak barriques, is a richer style with plenty of varietal definition and creamy flavours. The Koonunga Hill Chardonnay is considered by many to be amongst Australia's best value whites, delivering wine quality at an affordable pricepoint.
