Strout Vintners McLaren Vale Chardonnay
As you can imagine, the folk who live on Strout Road have heard a lot of trout jokes. If you can’t beat them, join them, say the Strout Rd Vintners – which is why there’s a trout on the label. They may only be a small outfit, but they’re certainly making a big splash with their luscious, mouthfilling wines, like this beautifully balanced Chardonnay which takes its fruit from vineyards in McLaren Vale. It would be a wonderful accompaniment to a delicious salad of smoked trout, but will also match just about match any long lunch fare you can think of beautifully.

Chapel Hill The Parson Shiraz
Chapel Hill's Michael Fragos loves using The Parson Shiraz to showcase McLarenVale's diversity and varietal character. The Shallow soils over livestone in maritime influenced vineyards between McLaren Vale and Masline Beach and also around Bowering Hill, provide explosive blueberries and liquorice with finesse and a wonderfully framing tannin structure. Up in the foothills of the Mount Lofty ranges, a Kangarilla vineyard offers Indian spice complexities that many higher priced wines would simply love to have. The added length and savoury tannins of this component and the use of some French oak result in a beguiling final release that is extraordinary.
Taylors Discoveries Chardonnay
Imminently approachable and deliciously fresh, Taylors Discoveries Chardonnay is a pale straw with a slightly green hue, with fresh, lifted aromas of peach and subtle tropical fruit characters along with touch of citrus. Mouth-filling whilst still embracing a light and delicate texture. Refreshing tight acidity and a lovely clean finish.
Yalumba Premium Chardonnay
This is a full flavoured Chardonnay, exhibiting ripe fruit flavours of peach and melon and hint of nougat for complexity. Finishes smooth with good length.
d'Arenberg The Stump Jump Lightly Wooded Chardonnay
The Stump Jump Lightly Wooded Chardonnay presents a pale straw colour with bright green tinges along the edges. A whiff of the wine reveals scintillating aromas of Granny Smith apples and citrus, accompanied by a subtle brininess. These vibrant fragrances are replicated on the fresh and crunchy palate, where they are joined by enticing flavours of hazelnut and brioche. All these elements fuse together to provide a creamy texture. This wonderful Chardonnay culminates in a taut, savoury and lengthy finish. It pairs best with roast chicken, fresh fish and crunchy salads.
