This year’s Village Chardonnay features very attractive lifted fruit aromas, along with a touch of nuttiness: the hint of hazelnut that is so typical of Chardonnay. The palate also shows a nice peachy ripeness along with a crisp flinty character that gives the wine a refreshing cleansing quality. This wine is perfect to drink with fish and shellfish. Learn More

In common with the other ’07 chardonnays, this wine is more refined on both nose and palate than the ’06. It has luxurious aromas of hazelnut and peaches while the palate has great length
and exhibits a mineral backbone which adds balance to the rich flavours. Another wine which will benefit from cellaring. Highly Recommended Winewise magazine Learn More

Spicy citrus aromas with understated richness. Very finely textured palate with balance, length and freshness. I have no hesitation in raising its rating from the Highly Recommended it received in Vol 23. Outstanding Winewise Magazine Learn More

Pale Straw. Gently fragrant with spicy oak and floral notes. Crammed tight with opulent white peach, nectarine and subtle leesy flavours. Characteristic creamy texture of Pierro Chardonnay yet it is tightly structured and coiled around taut racy acidity. Learn More

Another superb example of Padthaway Chardonnay the 2008 St Hilary displays the combined power and elegance of the vintage. The wine is easily enjoyable now but will continue to evolve in the bottle and will reward those who carefully cellar it over the next 4 or 5 years. Learn More

The fifteenth vintage of Chapel Hill’s Unwooded Chardonnay was produced from fruit grown in South Australia’s most acclaimed Chardonnay regions: McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Adelaide Hills. These three regions exemplify Chardonnay’s invigorating flavour spectrum. They each contribute distinctive varietal flavours that mingle effortlessly to culminate in a wine of delicious texture and sublime depth of flavour. Learn More

This is a lovely dry, medium bodied wine that is most enjoyable now and will continue to develop further complex fruit and bottle age characters over the next 8 to 10 years from release. Learn More

The bouquet displays powerful white peach/nectarine and grapefruit enhanced by the subtle use of fine French oak. The palate is gun barrel strait, fine yet powerful with great intensity and length, finishing clean with balanced acidity. The richness, complexity and structure of this wine dictate that it will repay careful cellaring over the next five years. Learn More
