Sitting high in the Adelaide Hills, Sidewood hand craft single vineyard wines of the utmost complexity. Their Chardonnay is made up of four French Chardonnay clones from the Ashwood vineyard and shows a crisp front palate with lifted layers of aromatic fruit. Each clone provides a unique flavour profile to the end result and delivers a wine displaying complex pear, peach & fig fruit flavours with some lovely nutmeg and sage spice notes.

An elegant, vibrant and fragrant nose with lemon, lime and pear in the foreground. Notes of peach blossom and subtle jasmine create lift and combines with cardamom pod, almond meal and roasted cashew. The palate has immense purity, with power and persistence. Lime and lemon pith define the palate, which carries through to a delicately layered middle, threaded with a fine mineral spine. Sesame seed and blanched almonds enhance complexity, finishing with a sparkling acid structure. This wine has energy in its youth, and will build texture with cellaring.

Named after the patriarch of the Tate family, the Alexanders Vineyard Chardonnay is sourced from the heart of Margaret River and was chosen due to Chardonnay's love and suitability to the region.

Another triumph for Hungerford Hill's Bryan Currie.The estate situated in the Hunter Valley also uses fruit from cool climate regions, Hilltops and Tumbarumba. "It’s taken a long time to get my head around Tumbarumba wine – it’s a truly unique place" says Bryan. This Sauvignon proves he's got his head brilliantly around the potential of the region.

Brokenwood continue to push the boundaries with their Chardonnay - this release sees the majority of fruit sourced from the exciting Beechworth region and winemaking inputs emphasise complexity.

Since the early 90's, Penfolds have been producing Chardonnay from the cool climate region of Tumbarumba. The Chardonnay is elegant with white florals, stone fruits and a great acidity structure. Maturation in French Oak gives the Bin 311 a subtle nutty savoury flavour through and through. A great all season wine for all sorts of occasions.

Howard Parks Jeff Burch says, The clean, precise flavours in this wine are still very expressive when you chill it down, and the subtle influence of older French oak barrels brings complexity and length without any heaviness. Opening with a subtle nose of green apple, grapefruit, bread dough and light toasty oak, it has an incredibly fine and savoury palate with enduring length and persistence. Characterised by apple, citrus, leesy depth and light vanillin oak, it has lovely long, racy and pure acidity that drives excellent line and length.View Recipe Match
