Best Chardonnay of the Hunter Show
2017 First Creek Winemaker’s Reserve Chardonnay
Story by Sally Evans
You have to pay attention to the Best Chardonnay of the Hunter Show! First Creek Wines is very much a family operation, benefitting from the bags of talent and experience of the Silkman clan, especially winemaking star Liz Silkman (nee Jackson). A Hunter girl through and through, both Liz and her wines have been consistently showered with accolades for more than 10 years. For this premium range Liz focuses on careful fruit selection from the best vintages only, resulting in small batches of really special wines. Restraint and finesse are the go here, with this intense, minerally, clever wine showcasing all that is great about well-made Chardonnay from top-quality fruit. RRP $60
