Penfolds Max’s Chardonnay is a tribute to former Chief Winemaker Max Schubert 1948-1975, a legend in Penfolds history, who's constant pursuit of excellence paved the way for those who followed in his footsteps and also allowed the status and heritage of Penfolds to grow. Pale straw in color, this wine offers an amalgam of aromatics -- primarily nectarine and honeydew melon with soft pistachio nougat. Barely recognizable savory French oak imparts a sensitive touch to sign off on a complex and appealing nose. The wine shows a citrus edge, with lime splice and finger lime sweetness. It also offers enticing teacake sponge flavors varietally laced with finely grated lemon zest.
