🍇 Tasting Notes

Pale straw with subtle golden hues. The nose opens with inviting aromas of lemon zest, white peach, nectarine and a hint of citrus blossom, alongside gentle notes of toasted almond, vanilla and light oak spice. On the palate it is medium-bodied and silky, with crisp acidity, layered fruit and a long, clean finish that highlights subtle mineral nuance and oak complexity.

🍽️ Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with grilled prawns, scallops, creamy chicken dishes, crab linguine, roasted vegetables and soft cheeses. Its freshness also makes it an elegant choice with sushi or light salads. Serve well-chilled at 8–10 °C.

🏡 Winemaking & Story

Produced by Robert Oatley Vineyards, one of Australia’s most respected family-owned wineries, this Chardonnay reflects the influence of cooler maritime-influenced vineyard sites that help preserve acidity and express varietal purity.

Fermentation and maturation include careful oak integration — often a mix of French oak barrels and stainless steel — to add complexity and texture while retaining fresh fruit character. The result is a Chardonnay with both vibrancy and depth, suited to food pairing and elegant sipping.
