Penley Estate, Coonawarra (South Australia) Chardonnay “Aradia” 2010

($20, Old Bridge Cellars): Those who still believe that all Australian Chardonnays are over ripe fruit bombs will be stunned by this dazzling wine.  Bright apple-like nuances tingle the palate in this restrained style of Chardonnay.  You’re left with a zesty citrus tang in the finish.  This wine’s cutting edge is a delightful match for grilled fish drizzled with olive oil.
