Murphy Vineyards Big Rivers Chardonnay is an appealing white wine showing a light green colour with tropical fruit aromas and a soft, fresh palate. No oak was used in either fermentation or ageing, giving a wine of great freshness, with stone fruit aromas to the fore. In the mouth it has a fresh peach quality backed by juicy acidity, and the long finish is a pleasant surprise. Enjoy it in its youth.
