The Wine: Blessington Road 2013 Chardonnay

RRP: $24.95

Our view: Straw yellow appearance, melon and pear aroma. Melon appears again on the palate with intensity added by acid structure.

The Wine: Blessington Road 2014 Pinot Noir

RRP: $29.95

Distributed by:  The Wine Company

Our view: The 2014 Pinot Noir from Blessington Road is 12.9% ABV, cherry red in appearance and aged in French oak. Dark chocolate jumps out with strawberries, and on the palate we found ripe fruit and chocolate sweetness and finely integrated tannins.
