Approachable, food friendly and great value, Thomas Mitchell wines are soft, round everyday drinking styles. These wines are made by the great Toby Barlow at Mitchelton, the Thomas Mitchell range lets Toby spread his wings a bit, working with fruit from further afield to create a range of quintessentially Australian wines. Cracking value and full of typically unshy Aussie fruit, the range is well worth a taste - especially if your hunting for a bargain.

	Thomas Mitchell Chardonnay 2004 6x75cl Vintage Timely Spring rains and mild temperatures resulted in an even bud burst combined with generous fruitfulness. The summer months were generally dry, with two isolated (but significant) rain events – 50mm in mid December, and 80mm in the second week of February. The potentially threatening rains came to an abrupt halt before veraison and the ripening period was characterised by fine, sunny, warm days.

We supplement these flavours through judicious oak usage and mature one third of the wine in barriques for 10 months. Wine Attributes Colour: Pale lemon Nose: Ripe peaches with hints of vanilla Palate: Full flavoured peaches with creamy buttery texture and balance. Price: £40.24 (Including: VAT at 17.5%)
