Pale straw with light green highlights. Bright and youthful in the glass, reflecting the wine’s fresh and vibrant Chardonnay style.
👃 Aromas (Nose)
Fragrant aromas of white peach, lemon and tropical fruit, complemented by subtle toasty oak and hints of cashew and vanilla. The bouquet is lifted and inviting with attractive fruit and gentle oak complexity.

Generous and fruit-driven with flavours of nectarine, grapefruit and tropical fruit, layered with a soft creamy texture and delicate spice. The fruit is ripe and expressive while remaining balanced and fresh.

Bright and crisp with lingering citrus and stone-fruit notes, finishing clean and refreshing.

A modern Victorian Chardonnay from the Zilzie Selection 23 range — fruit-forward, lightly creamy and easy-drinking with gentle oak complexity and a refreshing finish.
