| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Some wine enthusiasts—and retailers—think of Australia as entirely warm climate. That’s quite off the mark. Orange, which is a high-altitude zone that lies between Cowra and Mudgee in New South Wales north of Sydney, is known for its Sauvignon Blanc, but also produces aromatic, exuberant Chardonnay, such as the Printhie example. This full-bodied dry white wine shows lovely stone fruit aromas—peach/apricot—with a well-developed mid-palate and crisp, acid-rich long finish. The use of French oak is subtle, just broadening the mid-palate without overwhelming the fruit. Serve moderately chilled, about 55ºF/13ºC in small tulip-shaped glasses. Richly seasoned foods that pair well with this wine include apple/bread-stuffed chicken or pork loin; grilled chicken/apple sausage; baked chicken with gremolata (minced lemon zest, garlic and parsley); mild curries with chicken or pork; Chinese food.
