About Farrow & Jackson

Tasting notes from two Masters of Wine on the 2004 and 2005 Chardonnays are shown below. The 2006 Chardonnay has now been released, and our customers tell us it is even better.
Tasting notes: 2005 Farrow & Jackson Chardonnay
Colour
A pale yellow-straw.
Nose
Intense and fruit-forward, with ripe nectarine character and slight tropical overtones. Very subtle hints of oak.
Palate
Full-flavoured and soft, with tropical and citrus characters, a light talc-like texture and mild acidity.
The wine shows the intense, fresh fruit and stylish palate which marks the best wines from cool regions.  It is a beautiful accompaniment to full-flavoured white meat dishes and seafood, and may be cellared for another two years for greater complexity.

Tasting Notes: 2004 Farrow & Jackson Chardonnay
This wine displays all the hallmarks of a quality cool climate chardonnay. It displays great poise and elegance already and is best consumed over the next 2 to 3 years
Pale yellow to yellow in colour with fresh passionfruit/pineapple nuances dominating the nose. There is a hint of French oak on the nose but it is subtle and well balanced. The palate is extremely elegant. Intense passionfruit flavours, zippy acidity and great cedary oak, work seamlessly together to create a complete wine.
Secondary buttery/creamy notes are a fine encore, and gives the palate a lovely silkiness and depth. The fresh acidity lifts the whole palate profile and gives the wine vibrancy. A very complete wine of high quality. The best Farrow and Jackson chardonnay yet. Drink now to 3 years.
