2023 Black Label Chardonnay

$35.00

nectarine  |  melon  |  toast  |  creamy

The 2023 vintage was cooler than average, thanks to the La Niña phenomenon. These conditions allowed for gentle ripening of Chardonnay, without any major heat spikes. This has translated to lovely acid and bright, fresh fruit characteristics.

Made with ripe, textural fruit harvested from the stunning Murrumong and Yarraland vineyards, enjoy a rounder, fuller expression of Yarra Valley Chardonnay. Open up a bottle and enjoy with friends alongside a feast of Persian saffron roast chicken with barberry rice.
