Evans and Tate Butterball Chardonnay 2017

Evans & Tate have been a renowned force in wine since 1974 when the founders – John Evans and John Tate – planted their first vineyard. They named it Redbrook, after John Tate’s beloved dachshund. This was in Margaret River, where their cellar still is, and even today their Sauvignon Semillon ‘Dry White’ remains the country’s bestselling Margaret River wine. Over the years the winery has grown, along with its reputation, winning ‘Best Red Wine Trophy’ at the IWC 2000 competition for Shiraz, and in 2010 winning seven Trophies at the Qantas Wine Show. There have been many more. In this tasty Chardonnay they’ve used grapes from further afield, blending vats to get an ideal balance of ripe fruit and vibrancy. Superb solo or with creamy chicken.
