Dalrymple Vineyards Chardonnay 2024

An elegant and finely structured Tasmanian Chardonnay, offering inviting aromas of white peach, grapefruit and Meyer lemon, complemented by delicate florals, toasted brioche and a subtle coastal influence. The palate is beautifully balanced, with fresh nectarine and citrus flavours, hints of almond and gentle oak complexity. A fine, chalky texture and vibrant acidity provide precision and freshness, leading to a long, clean and lingering finish.

Winemaking: Crafted by winemaker Peter Caldwell from carefully selected Tasmanian vineyard parcels. The grapes were handpicked, gently whole-bunch pressed and settled overnight before fermentation, primarily in French oak puncheons, with a small portion fermented in ceramic egg. The wine matured for ten months, with lees stirring during the first four months to build texture and complexity. Malolactic fermentation was completed in spring, adding depth and balance while preserving the wine's natural freshness.

Food Match: Grilled ocean trout with almond butter sauce, pan-seared scallops, roast chicken with lemon and herbs or creamy mushroom risotto.
