Description “Chardonnay is unquestionably the world’s finest dry white wine” (Scotland on Sunday)... “unbeatable” (The Observer)... “one of the world’s greatest grape varieties” (The Times). We agree! And these beauties from top estates – Willow Bridge in WA, Mountadam, Dandelion Vineyards, Jim Brand and Zonte’s Footstep in South Australia, and Hungerford Hill in the Hunter Valley – show off this wonderful variety in all its layered, textured, complex glory. Enjoy them here in a top shelf dozen you simply won’t want to share with anyone else.
The striking 93pt Yates Chardonnay is the perfect example of well known Cabernet regions, like Coonawarra, being home to equally impressive Chardonnay. Combining peach and stone fruit aromas with creamy buttery and vanillin oak.
Whole bunches of Dandelion Vineyard's best Adelaide Hills Chardonnay were hand picked in the cool of twilight to retain fresh, racing acidity and gorgeous fruit aromas. Fermented in stainless steel tanks before spending 9 months in French oak.
Full flavoured, complex and textural 94pt Chardonnay from 5 Red Star Halliday-rated Willow Bridge. Grown on two distinct blocks situated on a picturesque hillside of the Ferguson Valley in WA's Geographe wine region.
The juicy and exclusive 93pt Zonte's Footstep Cream Puff Chardonnay is grown in the Adelaide Hills. Ripe with yellow stone fruit and citrus characters. Choux pastry notes, light baking spice and a subtle creamy palate inspire the name.
Grown along the banks of the Hunter River this Chardonnay hails from the oldest continually operating vineyard in Australia, Dalwood. First planted by George Wyndham in 1828 this vineyard is a piece of living history that continues in this wine.
Sourced from the Porter family, Adelaide Hills growers who have worked with Corryton Burge for years. The family's Chardonnay was matured in a mix of new and used oak for 6 months. Weekly battonage helped create a full and creamy mouthfeel.
