HARDYS OOMOO Chardonnay 2007 HARDYS OOMOO Chardonnay 2007

Hardys Oomoo was one of the first wines produced by Thomas Hardy at his original Bankside winery. Throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s it was Hardy’s most recognisable label. To celebrate and mark Hardys 150th Anniversary in 2003, Oomoo was revived as a classic McLaren Vale Shiraz. Today, Oomoo showcases the premium regions of South Australia. Every wine is a true reflection of the variety and the region.

The 2007 Hardys Oomoo Adelaide Hills Chardonnay was harvested from the premium cool climate region of the Adelaide Hills.

The warm vintage conditions allowed the Chardonnay to obtain optimal ripeness while maintaining good natural acid balance with ripe white peach fruit flavour.
The later part of ripening was relatively cool allowing extended flavour development. The hallmarks of the vintage, lifted perfumed fruit with lively palate structure are seen in this wine.

Colour Pale yellow in colour with green hues

Bouquet Displaying lifted aromas of ripe white peach and nectarines, background notes of citrus and sweet spice are evident from the French oak influence.

Palate Soft and sweet with strong acid backbone, this vibrant and fresh wine displays white peach characters complemented by hints of charry oak. Refreshing minerality provides the palate with elegance and genuine persistence.
