These traditional sparkling varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier are sourced from the cool climate Adelaide Hills, and are picked early to retain high natural acidity. Small batches of these low yielding grapes are gently pressed in stainless stell basket presses. Following primary and partial malolactic fermentation the inidividual parcels are bottled and inoculated with yeast and sugar to encourage secondary fermentation. The cuvee is fermented in the bottle to develop complexity for approximately four years. This is a dry style sparkling with minerality, a crisp acid backbone and layers of flowers, fruits and toasty savoury nuances.

Classic white peach and nectarine with hints of citrus, nougat and flint on the nose. A creamy, complex palate with a long acidity line giving the palate breadth and depth. Juicy white peach and citrus characters add freshness while subtle oak and lees ageing add density and interest

We decided to make an anti-fashion wine in terms of a Chardonnay that is big in flavours with plenty of creamy vanilla oak. Although not in vogue, drinkers love these styles and theres a reason: they are lip-smackingly delicious. This Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is a homage to the giant flavoured wines of yesteryear aged in small oak barrels with a monster mouthfeel its a Chardonnay that is decadent and moreish. Pair with Lobster mornay.

This is a lightly oaked Chardonnay matured in old French oak. The oak maturation has given the wine zesty aromas of stone and citrus fruits. These fragrances are followed by abundant nectarine and peach on the palate, which end in a crisp and clean finish. Fermentation by both cultured and wild yeasts has added texture and complexity to the drink.

Attractive stone fruit and citrus aromas with complexity from maturation on fermentation lees. The palate is fine and long with persistent flavour supported by oak structure and length. Will drink well over the next 5 years.

Sourced and grown in the Adelaide Hills, this is a fine example of how good Chardonnay from this region can be. This is a blend of 3 different cultivars of the Chardonnay grape. Bunch pressed and in part wild fermented. Partial malolactic fermentation imparts further complexity. A beautifully textured and complex wine.

Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay displays an initial bouquet of slate and wet stone, with nuances of lightly roasted almonds. Subtle hints of citrus, shrouded by nectarine and nashi pear fruits. On the palate, a spiced multi-citrus compote with a very delicate acidity. Balanced and will develop exceptionally well with cellaring.
