The 2010 Stickybeak Chardonnay is a pale light golden yellow in color. First aromas are intense, peppery and nutty – very pleasant. My initial sip is smooth and almost creamy with tastes of peach, nectarine and cantaloupe. No oakyness or butter as one would expect from a chardonnay, more citrusy and crisp with a ridiculously long finish. This is a super lively and fresh Chardonnay.
