A new breed of chardonnay - lean, tight and bright - is upping the ante for the food-friendly varietal, write Peter Bourne.

"... our top end chardonnays offer far more than drinkability - they are gracious, fine-boned and food friendly."

And on the 2007 Picardy Chardonnay, Peter writes: A pure and precise wine but in no way simple.  A platform of intense fruit flavours receives sympathetic winemaking which adds character and complexity.  Balance is the key, with a drive of flavour and a wondrous grapefruit acidity on the finish.
