In Dreams Chardonnay 2023 Yarra Valley – 12 Bottles

WINERY INFORMATION: In Dreams is a project that has been evolving for the past 8 years. It is a long story that began as a conversation over the phone in Portugal, moved to a chat over a coffee in Armadale, skipped over the ditch to Central Otago and finally came to fruition in the Yarra Valley. TASTING NOTES: This Chardonnay is lifted, zesty, and creamy – reminiscent of an Italian baked lemon ricotta cake fresh from the oven – who can resist! The wine is elegant and balanced with lingering crunchy acidity, which ties all the elements together, including a nutty lightly toasted oak character from the French oak. The palate is fruity, textured and mouth-filling, with a long cleansing finish. Lapin la Moutarde – truly! We caught a wild rabbit from our farm and tried this fabulous recipe from the gourmet traveller and it worked a treat… just go easy on the Dijon mustard otherwise it can dominate the palate. Ask your butcher to joint you a rabbit unless you have access to lovely wild ones and are handy with a gun!
