Rich and textural, with grilled nuts on the pallet and some lingering white peach and oak spice, backed up with creamy cashew and ripe nectarine flavours.

Miles From Nowhere Chardonnay 2022

We’re in on that alone, but there’s also a sturdy backbone of compact stone fruit and a nice citrussy-sherbety pull of acidity to keep you energised over the warmer months. We recommend pouring this into a fishbowl-sized wine glass, giving it a little swirl and savouring everything it has to offer. Superb modern Chardonnay that also deserves some space in the cellar.

Nocturne Treeton Sub Region Chardonnay 2022

An absolute beauty of a Chardonnay that sits just on the lighter, softer side in the context of Margaret River style. This will please the gambit of Chardy drinkers with its relaxed feel, a lick of toasty oak sweetness and a delicately creamy feel from some lees stirring. Delicious!

Voyager Estate Coastal Chardonnay 2022

Propping all that fruit up is some nice cashew, pulled warm bread and lemon rind. There’s a lot of drive and power here, but it’s never overwhelming.

## ABOUT CHARDONNAY
If there were such a thing as grape variety royalty, then Chardonnay would sit on the throne. Originating from a small village in Burgundy, France, it’s now the most widely planted variety in the world, seen in wine regions across USA, South Africa, all the way to New Zealand and beyond. Chardonnay has an almost timeless relevance in contemporary food and wine culture–its versatility both in the winery and on the dinner table means it can be used to create a wide variety of wine styles for an even wider variety of occasions. Though many think of Chardonnay and think of oak aged styles that are rich and full-bodied, it can also produce taut, chiselled wines that are begging to be paired with oysters. We can’t talk about Chardonnay wines without mentioning the premium end of the spectrum, including Grand Cru Chablis and even sparkling wines such as Blanc de Blancs (also known as Champagne). This malleability has earned Chardonnay the name ‘the winemaker’s grape’, as the wine it produces is heavily influenced by stylistic decisions made in the winery.
