1999 Plantagenet, Omrah, Western Australia, Unwooded Chardonnay ($12.99 Southern Wines). This one hits your nose with tropical citrus and European sweet cucumber nuances and goes right over to your mouth with a blast of fruit in full body (13.5% alcohol). The fruity complexity with sufficient acid caresses your palate, and gives you a lingering finish. Matched perfectly with broiled fresh haddock fillet with butter and paprika garnished with spinach. Enjoyed it with the fish and just sipping it afterwards. A really delightful wine, and highly recommended.

I really like some of the NZ unoaked Chards -- thanks for the heads up on the OZ wine.

Guess I should have read all the new messages before I mentioned the Kim Crawford Unoaked on the NZ folder. Quite a few people are now asking for something other than one of those overoaked California Chards. This one seems to fill the bill. I'll have to look into the Plantagenet, also.

Found another bottle in my "upstairs rack" tonight. Yikes! 1999 is really 1998 1/2 in Down Under vintages. My thoughts were, Is it too late? So, we broiled a nice piece of haddock with butter and paprika, tossed a salad, and popped the Omrah. It was still wonderful. Full of fresh fruit flavor and all the original characteristics described above. Am not a scientist, but I think the acidity unfettered by a healthy dose of oak, gives the wine more life.
