Straight-forward oaked Chardonnay. Stone fruits, melon, butter and popcorn. Almost off-dry, but acidity and bitterness balances it a little bit. But still the palate is bold and punchy. Long finish with flavours of mandarin and yellow fruits. Good entry-level wine. Thanks to the price, it makes a wonderful match for lunch (or video games haha).
Nugan Estate
Nugan Estate, an Australian winery with a rich history, is rooted in the diverse cultural heritage brought by its founders, Alfredo and Annelise Nugan, from Spain in 1938. The estate has evolved from humble beginnings in selling seasonal produce to becoming a significant name in the wine industry, showcasing a strong commitment to quality and innovation. This dedication is evident in their adoption of environmentally sustainable practices, including the unique indoor design of their winery to reduce environmental impacts and fluctuations in temperature. They also demonstrate a commitment to sustainability through water recycling and other green initiatives. Their focus on legacy and environmental responsibility highlights a depth that goes beyond mere wine production.
Over the decades, Nugan Estate has developed a reputation for excellence, reflected in its award-winning status and global distribution. With a portfolio that includes the Alfredo Series, Cookoothama range, and Third Generation wines, Nugan Estate showcases a variety of styles, each embodying the family's passion and dedication to winemaking. Their Barrel Cave (storage facility), a testament to their focus on quality maturation, is a striking example of their commitment to the craft. Despite their growth and success, the family has maintained their ethos of hard work and innovation, contributing to community projects such as funding preschools in Africa, which reflects the caring spirit of their founders.
