Abbey Vale 2004 Vat 351 Chardonnay (Margaret River)

Best Buy

Price $9

So light in color, it’s almost clear. Talc-powder aromas waft from the nose; on the palate, delicate yellow fruit is accented by floral notes. It’s very unusual to find Margaret River wines at this price, so grab it up. Imported by Aussie Imports. — D.T. (5/1/2005)

Abbey Vale 1999 Verdelho (Margaret River)

Price $16

Verdelho is a grape from Iberia that the Aussies are increasingly working with. The lime and herb qualities in this offering are attractive, and the mouthfeel is slightly chalky, in a positive manner. Tangy, with a sweet-spicy finish, this is an appealing, somewhat softer alternative to Sauvignon Blanc. — M.M. (10/1/2000)

Abbey Vale 1999 Chardonnay (Margaret River)

Price $14

This is a nice, easygoing Chardonnay. Apple with a touch of oak are the flavors. Crisp acidity and a creamy mouthfeel lead into a long finish. A seafood salad would make good company for this one. — M.N. (6/1/2001)

Abbey Vale 2000 Verdelho (Margaret River)

Price $14

Banana, cream and a hint of cilantro characterize this Verdelho’s nose. The palate is, at first, bright and lively with hints of cream; a split second later, it is supertart. Finish is bitter, with an odd metallic flavor. — D.T. (9/1/2001)
