2008 Seraphim Chardonnay

I agree it is sometimes so much easier to buy a brand you're familiar with because, usually, you've bought it before and you know what you are going to get.  It's called 'playing it safe' and why wouldn't you.  When it comes to wine I can understand that, to a certain extent.  Well, I used to be the same but not anymore (mainly thanks to social media).
Recently I was lucky enough to have been introduced to a small one man concern in North East Victoria called Seraphim Wines.  Sam Scapari is the winemaker who has experience in California and the Mornington Peninsula where Pinot Noir and Chardonnay reign supreme.
The 2008 Seraphim Chardonnay ($22) is, quite simply, a delicious wine.  The aromas on the nose run through to the palate with lush creamy/buttery characteristics evident.  Yes, it is a rich, mouth-filling wine but not like the heavy, bold chardonnays of years gone by.  It is much more inviting and desirable.  As it turns out, there is still some of this available through the website (www.seraphimwine.com.au/product-p/2008-aged-chardonnay.htm) and I'm sure Sam's more recent chardonnays are just as good as this one. Find it, buy it and share it with friends.

Until next time and remember, live simply, laugh often, wine alot.
