{"product_id":"scarborough-yellow-label-chardonnay-2023-hunter-valley","title":"Scarborough Yellow Label Chardonnay 2023 | Hunter Valley","description":"\u003cp\u003eScarborough Yellow Label Chardonnay has been the wine that made Scarborough Wine Co famous since 1987 — their best-selling wine, loved and shared across generations, and a benchmark of Hunter Valley Chardonnay. The 2023 vintage is the newest release from an outstanding Hunter Valley vintage, sourced from the Gillards Road property and select vineyards with the same deep hillside red-brown terra rossa soils of limestone parentage. Aromas of cinnamon-poached white peach and crushed roasted cashews leap from the glass, followed by a beautifully weighted mid-palate of stewed nectarines and perfumed French oak, finishing with an elegant, long acid line. Matured for 12 months in French oak of varying ages. Drink now or over the next 4 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright green-gold with straw overtones — the fresh, luminous colour of a Hunter Valley Chardonnay sourced from deep hillside terra rossa soils of limestone parentage, with the clarity and vibrancy that careful oxidative handling and 12 months of French oak maturation deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAroma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCinnamon-poached white peach and crushed roasted cashews leap from the glass — hints of buttered sourdough and perfumed French oak add depth and complexity.
