Over-delivering on value for money, this chardonnay is best enjoyed young. Ripe pear, nectarine and custard apple aromas intertwine with subtle oak characters adding complexity from the very start. Rich and smooth with a creamy mouth-feel, this wine is laden with white peach, nectarine and luscious fruit salad flavours. Warm Cajun chicken salad, grilled barramundi, creamy pasta dishes or lightly spiced Thai dishes are a perfect match.

Vinification

Deakin Estate Chardonnay grapes were harvested when riper flavours were most intense. Several different yeast strains were used to ferment different parcels of fruit which contributed to a variety of fruit and savoury nuances. One parcel was fermented with wild yeast and underwent malolactic fermentation, contributing to some subtle nutty flavours in the final blend.

Stone fruit, dried mango and flecks of spice with soft acidity, it's simple but fresh. (Jane Faulkner)
