Details
The grapes for this Chardonnay come from vineyards all over South Australia, both near the vineyard in the Barossa and in far-flung corners of the state. It's a golden, peachy white too, with plenty of stonefruit juiciness and just a little tangy citrus bite.

Origin: Burgundy, in eastern France. Mainly Grown In: France, USA, Australia, Italy, Chile, South Africa, Argentina, Spain, NZ… all over, really! Key Facts: Chardonnay is one flexible, sassy grape. It grew up in a place called Burgundy in France, and has travelled to California, Australia, other parts of France, South America... all over the world basically. It can be zesty and fresh in cooler climates, and richer and creamier in warmer ones. It's also one of the few white varieties that performs just as well when treated with oak as it does without. This winemaking change can also affect the body and texture of the wine, leading to a totally different drinking experience. So remember, not all Chardonnays are alike, but we've picked only the best ones for you :) Fun Fact: White wines from Burgundy and Chablis are almost always Chardonnay.

Pairing guide
Leaning into a low oak style, this Chardonnay really dials up the peachy fruit, and that generosity makes this a pretty friendly wine on the table. It cuts through rich, cheesy mac 'n' cheese, keeps a Thai green curry feeling lively and will also pair wonderfully with classic beer-battered fish and chips. Serve this ice cold for max enjoyment.

Wine region
South Australia, Australia
South Australia is a wide and varied state when it comes to wine production. From the coastal regions of Limestone Coast and McLaren Vale, to the warmer inland valleys of Barossa and Eden, to the flats of Langhorne Creek, there's a range of terroirs and temperatures across this wide brown land. As a result, wines labelled with only South Australia can display a range of flavours! The state is probably best known for Shiraz, Grenache and Cab Sav in reds, and Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay in white. Whatever your flavour, there's plenty to explore!
