Attractive honeydew melon, white peach and lemon/lime aromas make this Penfolds Koonunga Hill Chardonnay, a fresh easy drinking one with plenty of complexities on the finish.

Many of you will remember Sam Trimboli from his days at Warburn Estate where, every vintage, he’d pick up literally hundreds of awards. He’s still on a winning streak, but now he’s renting space all for himself at a winery in Riverina, New South Wales. Sam makes there the mighty Black Duck, and his white version – the equally fruity and irresistible White Duck. Sam has been in the region for many years, so knows exactly where the best grapes are growing. In 2021, he selected when he wanted them picked too, cool fermenting and adding a touch of citrusy Pinot Grigio to the blend. This is the sort of wine you should never be short of, ready chilled in the fridge. Exuberant with bright melon fruit – serve solo or with a spicy noodle dish.

White wines can be jammy too. Try this delicious Chardonnay giving you all the warm, buttery feelings. Hints of this or notes of that. You want the 411, ok, here it is. Vanillin, nougat and toasted nut flavours with ripe peach and citrus fruit finishing with a soft jammy mouthfeel. The creamy buttery texture is perfectly balanced by luscious acidity and framed by skilfully selected oak. Pair with chicken and pork, creamy pasta, spicy seafood, Asian influenced dishes, and salads. Perfect for those Summer evenings & al fresco dinners.

Taylors Chardonnay's toasty nutty flavours of the oak perfectly complement the rich melon peach varietal characters of the grape in this soft full-flavoured 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.
