Tasting Notes The famous Aussie "Chook Raffle” is the weekly fundraising raffle where for a buck, you mightwin a frozen chook (chicken) or just about anything the organizer can scrounge up! Shoofly’sAdelaide Hills Chardonnay is crafted with a touch more care, using carefully ripened fruit withjust a touch of oak and a dash of Riesling and Verdelho to give bright, juicy flavors reminiscentof grapefruit and melon.

This youthful wine is drinking great now and will develop more complexity over thenext 3 years.
