Chardonnay 2023

$23.00

Tasting Notes

Paracombe Chardonnay is made in a modern Australian style using no Oak treatment. Our aim is for the fruit expression of our unique terroir to stand out in its utmost purity.

The wine has a fine structure and delicate fruit, well balanced with natural cool climate acidity.

Enjoy the attractive bouquet of fig and lemon soufflé with subtle mineral notes. The palate is long and finely balanced expressing fresh flavours of melon, peach and creamy apple.

What the reviewers are saying

Bright straw-green; an attractive wine that has evolved slowly and surely offering a quite luscious mix of white peach, cashew and honeyed nuances neatly balanced by acidity. James Halliday
