Details
A sophisticated cool climate sparkling displaying a wonderful mix of green apple, some grapefruit sorbet, oatmeal cracker, and a lovely fresh finish. It's creamy and gentle, but still refreshing, and the use of oak to round out the Chardonnay really sets this wine apart.

Jack Rabbit Wines are located on the Victorian Bellarine Peninsula, not far from Portarlington. An established restaurant generates most of their fame these days, but the wines are quietly impressive, and deserve more attention. The crafting is done by long time Geelong winemaker, Nyall Condon, who has a long and exceptional history of excellence in all aspects of vineyard establishment, winery installation and management and of course, winemaking! Nyall’s approach to winemaking is very much about minimal intervention and retaining the natural characters of each varietal – the fruit is the hero. Creative and thoughtful use of oak is another aspect of Nyall’s winemaking mantra – each year different - to best suit the ‘temperament’ and requirements of the varietal and the varying nature of each vintage.

Pairing guide
Made solely from the Chardonnay grape, this Blanc de Blancs is a luxurious treat for the senses. This stunning bottle from Jack Rabbit is going to really hit the high notes at mealtimes, and will pair beautifully with all your favourite seafood and fish dishes. It doesn’t have to be caviar and oysters, however (although that pairing definitely works wonders!) - you’ll get equally good results with fish ‘n’ chips and calamari rings, too. It’s a top match for fried tofu and noodle dishes for the vegetarians out there, and if you’ve got a sweet tooth, match it up with a pineapple dessert or a tropical fruit pavlova. Nice!
