🍷 Appearance
-
Pale straw to light gold colour — bright and clear in the glass, typical of a fresh, youthful Chardonnay from the Hunter Valley region.
👃 Aromas (Nose)
-
Expressive aromatics with fresh stone fruit and citrus characters — think green apple, lemon zest and hints of pear.
-
Some French oak influence on the nose brings subtle vanilla and light spice complexity.
👅 Palate (Taste)
-
Crisp citrus and orchard fruits carry through to the palate, with lively lemon, lime and gently ripe peach flavours.
-
The use of oak fermentation for part of the blend adds creaminess and subtle richness without overwhelming the fruit.
-
Balanced by refreshing acidity, making the wine vibrant yet approachable.
🍈 Texture & Finish
-
Light to medium-bodied with a smooth, slightly rounded mouthfeel.
-
Finish is clean and crisp, with lingering citrus and elegant fruit depth.
🍇 Overall Style
A fruit-forward Hunter Valley Chardonnay that blends fresh citrus and stone fruit with gentle oak complexity, offering a refreshing, everyday-drinking style with a touch of richness.
Food Pairing Tip: Excellent with grilled seafood (like barramundi or prawns), creamy chicken dishes, or soft cheeses—acidity and fruit intensity complement lighter fare beautifully.
