Wine characteristics at: *November 2008* Alcohol Content: 13.6% Residual Sugar: <2.5g/L (dry) Colour: Pale yellow/straw. Nose: Initial aromas of fleshy stone fruit and citrus give way to toasty, mealy oak nuances. Palate: The palate for this wine reveals fresh stone fruit, citrus and pear like flavours. These flavours are complimented by a creamy, toasty richness that delivers a palate of considerable weight and texture. A cut of fine and refreshing acidity threads through the palate to give a wine of balance and persistence. Condition: Excellent. Cellaring notes: Enjoy now for freshness or cellar for up to five more years to reveal more bottle- aged complexities. Best with: Cream based pasta dishes, Roast Chicken, Seafood. Ideal with heavier more complex flavours such as Pate, Veal Scaloppini, and Lobster Mornay.

"On visiting the cellar door for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Chardonnay - having purchased extensively in Margaret River over the last 6 months (and mostly Chardonnay around the $30-40 mark). The colour is still youthful, despite its 2003 vintage. We've been buying 2004/05 Chardonnays elsewhere, and I have little faith in the age-worthiness of Australian Chardonnays in general (i.e. over 5 years). However, the Killerby has developed white peach and nectarine characters, very much in balance with the savoury oak characters, and just seems to be hanging together so well. 'Balanced' is probably the keyword, along with 'class'. On perusing the Killerby website after my purchases, I was not surprised to find that the winery itself promotes the wine as 'drink until early 2007' (i.e. now). I think it is fabulous now, and would not be surprised if it went another year or two - but why wait?"
