Very enjoyable

We don't normally drink chardonnay but ordered one as I thought it might go well with a Chinese New Year celebration meal. Received this as a substitute for the one I actually ordered. We really enjoyed it, it was fruity slightly oaky and not at all acidic. A pleasant surprise compared to the brash chardonnay so often experienced. We are converted.

Great wine

Full of aroma and taste better than those more expensive brands. Would make a great gift.

Ordered Sauv blanc and received two chardonnays

I unscrewed the bottle without looking at the label and thought no way does this taste like Sauvignon Blanc, it tastes like Chardonnay and it's oaked, which I don't like in white wines. Lo and behold, when I checked the label, someone had put Chardonnay into my order. Clearly, this is good Chardonnay for people who like oaked Chardonnay. I don't. Good wine, but not for me,

Wonderful wine

With the popularity of exaggerated, 'buttery', diacetyl-dominated Chardonnay (often to the point of tasting quite 'chemically' to me), I've been firmly in the "Anything but Chardonnay" camp for a long time, especially when buying from supermarkets. This wine, however, is fantastic. It has the distinctive bright, fruit clarity of the best NZ wines, with great length of flavour and none of that cloying character. It will happily compliment food from delicate fish dishes to more intense, spicy Asian dishes. The other Jackson Estate wines at Ocado have all similarly impressed me. Even if you think you dislike Chardonnay, give this one a try; it may be that you just dislike Chardonnays that employ warm malolactic fermentations to increase the 'butteryness'. In the past, I'd been unfairly blaming the grape instead of the winemaker!

One of the best Chardonnays

Fresh, fruity Chardonnay, more like a French Chablis with more fruit. A new favourite, especially on offer!

Good Chardonnay

This is very decent chardonnay and worth the price. Not acidic and easy to drink
