$345.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The 2023 Yarra Valley Chardonnay reveals an enticing pale lemon hue, setting the stage for its vibrant complexity. Aromas of ripe nectarine, buttered toast, and cantaloupe leap from the glass, hinting at the wine’s creamy and layered character.

On the palate, a medley of lemon curd, peach, and hazelnut interplay seamlessly, carried by a luxurious, creamy texture. The wine’s bright acidity, born from the cooler La Niña vintage, adds freshness and vitality to its round and full expression.

Crafted from premium fruit sourced from the Murrumong and Yarraland vineyards, this Chardonnay benefits from both machine and hand harvesting, ensuring precision and balance. Fermented and matured in 20% new French oak for 10 months, with a touch of malolactic fermentation, it showcases finesse and depth without overwhelming oak influence.

The result is a wine that can be enjoyed now for its fresh, textured appeal or cellared for up to eight years to further enhance its complexity.

Perfectly suited to pair with rich dishes like Persian saffron roast chicken with barberry rice, this vegan-friendly Chardonnay offers a harmonious blend of ripe fruit, creamy elegance, and refreshing acidity.

At 12.9% alcohol, it promises both indulgence and restraint, making it a quintessential Yarra Valley delight.
