Located in Victoria, near Melbourne, the Yarra Valley is one of Australia’s coolest and most elegant wine regions. The cooler climate means Chardonnay ripens more slowly, retaining its natural acidity, freshness and subtle aromatic profile. Chardonnay from this region often has aromas of citrus, green apple, pear and white blossom, with light notes of nuts, butter or toast in the background, and is briefly aged in oak. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, fresh yet creamy, with good structure and a clean, precise flavour. Oak is used sparingly to enhance texture rather than overpower the fruit. The finish is long, elegant and minerally, reminiscent of the best examples of Burgundy and shows why the Yarra Valley is considered one of the strongest places in Australia to grow Chardonnay.
