Recently released 2007 Patina Reserve Chardonnay (Orange region)…. Reviewed on Winefront.com.au by Wine Companion Magazine Editor, Campbell Mattinson.

“This was bottled three years ago and was deliberately held back because – according to Patina owner and winemaker Gerald Naef – “Orange chardonnay generally improves quite dramatically during its first few years in bottle”. I’d add to that that it tends to improve given a chance to breathe/decant.”
“I like the developed character here. It’s buttery, toasty, and just a little milk powdery – it’s a wine of texture and mouthfeel and quite a bit of flavour. Fruit comes in the form of lime and peach, and the finish is more elegant than searing. I thought this wine lacked persistence at first but given air, it was more-than-satisfying. “
