  Basedow Chardonnay	Barossa Valley Australia	White 1998/9 100% Chardonnay	AB-CHA
  Lovely pale straw color with obvious green hues. Ripe and refreshing. A lively mouthful of pear, melon and spice flavors that keep bouncing through the finish. Drink now through 1999. A full flavored yet elegant palate possessing exceptional length and complexity. Serve slightly chilled. (2000 cases produced)

  Coloring is red with crimson hues on the meniscus. This wine is soft with a rounded fruit driven style. The rich fruit is very evident on both the bouquet and the palate. A lightly "perfumed" red wine, easy to drink with a soft, smooth finish exhibiting light acidity.
